0 goals in 6 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 5.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 2.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0 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 35.9, Taifi carries the 15th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 39 — though on just 6 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0 goal contributions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
