3 goals in 18 appearances (0.17 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 71.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Output. 0.23 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 34.2, Faraj carries the 11th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Allsvenskan of 17, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Halmstad finished 16th 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 work-in-progress on end product (0.23 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
