On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 26th of 27 of the 27 attacking midfielders in the HNL. At 30 Menalo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.2 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

3 goals in 15 appearances (0.2 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.35 goal contributions per 90 (0.35 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 23.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 17.4, Menalo carries the 26th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the HNL of 27 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.35 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
