Goals / app

12 goals in 33 appearances (0.36 per game) — double figures playing for an upper-table side (3rd of 18). He also laid on 8 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 20 goal contributions (0.61 per appearance).

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 80.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Final-third output. 0.73 goal contributions per 90 (0.44 goals, 0.29 assists) — productive for the role.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.9/100).
Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 95.893 overall — elite — among the best in the position. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.73 goal contributions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~119), then tapers with age. At 19, Diomande sits on 51.7, still climbing toward its peak.
