7 goals in 29 appearances (0.24 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 11 goal contributions (0.38 per appearance).

Strengths

Final-third output. 0.57 goal contributions per 90 (0.37 goals, 0.21 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

Game time. Only 56.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 55.1 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.57 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years). Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~39), then tapers with age. At 28, Ache sits on 23.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Ache's projected Rating — 55.1 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
