Output in context · Cardiff finished 19th of 24 · a lower-table side
2 goals in 8 appearances (0.25 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 3 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.39 goal contributions per 90 (0.26 goals, 0.13 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 33.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 60.6, Salech carries the 1st-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the League One of 28 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.39 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
