Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.72 goal contributions per 90 (0.29 goals, 0.43 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 23.2% 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 1.6, Karlese carries the 12th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premier Soccer League of 39 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.72 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
