Goals / app

6 goals in 27 appearances (0.22 per game) for a mid-table side.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.73 goal contributions per 90 (0.73 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 25.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 62.3, Benali carries the 22nd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Ligue 1 of 35 — though on just 27 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.73 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.
