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

Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 35.9 overall — developing / rotation level. 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).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~18), then tapers with age. At 30, Vada sits on 8.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Vada's projected Rating — 35.9 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
