0 goals in 13 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 3 goal contributions (0.23 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.38 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 0.38 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 46.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 54, Saad carries the 24th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga of 48 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.38 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
