Output in context · Pohang Steelers finished 7th of 12 · a mid-table side
3 goals in 21 appearances (0.14 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 4 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.6 goal contributions per 90 (0.45 goals, 0.15 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 22.3% 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 31.1, Rocha carries the 2nd-highest potential of the wingers in the K League 1 of 3 — though on just 21 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.6 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
