Goals / app

12 goals in 26 appearances (0.46 per game) is double figures — and for a lower-table side (12th of 15), a real standout. Weaker sides create and score less, so carrying double-figure output there says more than the raw number alone. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 15 goal contributions (0.58 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 67% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.75 goal contributions per 90 (0.6 goals, 0.15 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 26.1, Ingvartsen carries the 37th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer of 58, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (San Diego finished 12th of 15) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.75 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
