Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.52 goal contributions per 90 (0.21 goals, 0.31 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 32.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 19.5, Moleleki carries the 16th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premier Soccer League of 32 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.52 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
