4 goals in 16 appearances (0.25 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 (0.56 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 88.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.6 goal contributions per 90 (0.27 goals, 0.33 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.87 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 23.3, Paul carries the 30th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 39. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.6 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
