G+A

Goals / app

7 goals in 17 appearances (0.41 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side. Add 2 assists for 9 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.84 goal contributions per 90 (0.65 goals, 0.19 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 28.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 16.8, Aralica carries the 22nd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the First League of 26, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Lokomotiv Sofia finished 11th 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 genuine goal threat (0.84 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
