In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (33.2% of available minutes). He brings 0.67 goal contributions per 90 (0.34 goals, 0.34 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Afrifa.

Judged on this season alone, Afrifa graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 36th of 53 of the 53 wingers in the Major League Soccer, on 3 goals and 3 assists in 23 appearances (0.669 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 20). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

3 goals in 23 appearances (0.13 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 (0.26 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.67 goal contributions per 90 (0.34 goals, 0.34 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 33.2% 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 36.9, Afrifa carries the 34th-highest potential of the wingers in the Major League Soccer of 53 — though on just 23 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.67 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
