Goals / app

11 goals in 33 appearances (0.33 per game) is double figures — and for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 18), a real standout. Weaker sides create and score less, so carrying double-figure output there says more than the raw number alone. He also laid on 6 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 17 goal contributions (0.52 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 95.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.52 goal contributions per 90 (0.34 goals, 0.18 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.75 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 36.4, Vada carries the 3rd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Pro League of 6, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Damac finished 16th of 18) — 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 productive contributor (0.52 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
