Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 15 → 28). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, top 19% of the 11 wingers in the Premier League. At 24 Benchimol is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Benchimol missed 4 games through injury (wound) out of roughly 32 this season. The 22 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
A career still climbing — Benchimol is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Akron finished 13th of 16 · a lower-table side
8 goals in 22 appearances (0.36 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.61 goal contributions per 90 (0.61 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 46.9% 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 31.1, Benchimol carries the 2nd-highest potential of the wingers in the Premier League (top 19%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Akron finished 13th 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 (0.61 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
