Squad depthGoal-getting Winger

S. Afrifa is a 25-year-old winger at Sporting Kansas City, rated 37.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 244th of 525 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (34.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.57 goal contributions per 90 (0.29 goals, 0.29 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Afrifa.

Judged on this season alone, Afrifa graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 34th of 57 of the 57 wingers in the Major League Soccer, on 3 goals and 3 assists in 25 appearances (0.575 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 19). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 37, 34th of 57 of the 57 wingers in the Major League Soccer. At 25 Afrifa is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.9 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

3 goals in 25 appearances (0.12 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 6 goal contributions (0.24 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.57 goal contributions per 90 (0.29 goals, 0.29 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 34.8% 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 37.1, Afrifa carries the 34th-highest potential of the wingers in the Major League Soccer of 57, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Sporting Kansas City finished 15th 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 genuine goal threat (0.57 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
