Goals / app

6 goals in 17 appearances (0.35 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.37 goal contributions per 90 (0.37 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 53.5% 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 23.2, Rodriguez carries the 26th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the USL Championship of 46, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Las Vegas Lights finished 12th of 12) — 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 productive contributor (0.37 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
