G+A

Goals / app

8 goals in 29 appearances (0.28 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side. Add 2 assists for 10 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.62 goal contributions per 90 (0.5 goals, 0.13 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.25 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 44.9, Yapi carries the 11th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer (top 22%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Colorado Rapids finished 11th 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 genuine goal threat (0.62 goal contributions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
