Game time. Only 31.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Output. 0.28 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

Rated 58.6 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.28 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.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~22), then tapers with age. At 19, Issoufou sits on 17.6, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Issoufou's projected Rating — 58.6 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.
