4 goals in 28 appearances (0.14 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 32.6% 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 28.1, Farias carries the 10th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the K League 1 of 22. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.33 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
