2 goals in 13 appearances (0.15 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.39 goal contributions per 90 (0.19 goals, 0.19 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 34.6% 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 17.8, Foster carries the 18th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the USL Championship of 25 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.39 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
