Judged on this season alone, Merkaj graded 36 — a strong campaign that ranks top 28% of the 58 centre-forwards in the Serie B, on 9 goals and 1 assist in 38 appearances (0.299 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 24 → 36). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 49, 27th of 58 of the 58 centre-forwards in the Serie B. At 28 Merkaj is in his prime years, and a market index of 14.1 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Merkaj is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Sudtirol finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
9 goals in 38 appearances (0.24 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side. Add 1 assist for 10 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 83.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Output. 0.3 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
Outlook
With a Rating of 48.7, Merkaj carries the 27th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Serie B of 58, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Sudtirol finished 16th of 20) — 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 work-in-progress on end product (0.3 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
