Goals / app

0 goals in 34 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 10 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 10 goal contributions (0.29 per appearance).

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 73.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Final-third output. 0.4 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 0.4 assists) — productive for the role.
Ceiling. High potential at just 18 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

Defensive numbers. Modest 1.4 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 65.614, Karetsas carries the 1st-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Bundesliga (top 3%). In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.4 goal contributions per 90). At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 18, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~39), then tapers with age. At 18, Karetsas sits on 29.4, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Karetsas's projected Rating — 65.614 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
