Goals / app

4 goals in 27 appearances (0.15 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 5 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.43 goal contributions per 90 (0.35 goals, 0.09 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30.4% 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 26, Fontaine carries the 21st-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the First League of 40, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Septemvri Sofia finished 14th of 16) — 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 productive contributor (0.43 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
