2 goals in 22 appearances (0.09 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.25 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 1, Makhubu carries the 17th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Premier Soccer League of 35, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Magesi finished 15th of 16) — 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 work-in-progress on end product (0.25 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
