  • Final-third output. 0.59 goal contributions per 90 (0.36 goals, 0.24 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 28.1% 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 1.8, Vilakazi carries the 4th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premier Soccer League of 39 — though on just 21 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.59 goal contributions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
