Goals / app

7 goals in 33 appearances (0.21 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 10 goal contributions (0.3 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 74.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.41 goal contributions per 90 (0.29 goals, 0.12 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.31 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 25.9, Sallói carries the 38th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 50, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Sporting Kansas City finished 15th of 15) — 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 productive contributor (0.41 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
