Goals / app

20 goals in 36 appearances (0.56 per game) is a 20-goal season — and for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 18), a real standout. Weaker sides create and score less, so carrying double-figure output there says more than the raw number alone. He also laid on 5 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 25 goal contributions (0.69 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 89.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.78 goal contributions per 90 (0.62 goals, 0.16 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 68.2, Futkeu carries the 2nd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the 2. Bundesliga (top 6%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (SpVgg Greuther Fürth finished 16th of 18) — 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 genuine goal threat (0.78 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
