Output in context · San Diego finished 12th of 15 · a lower-table side
4 goals in 28 appearances (0.14 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 5 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 9 goal contributions (0.32 per appearance).
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 76% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Final-third output. 0.4 goal contributions per 90 (0.18 goals, 0.22 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 36.9, Valakari carries the 17th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer (top 37%), 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 productive contributor (0.4 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.
