What he’s worth on the pitch today — our number, not the market’s. Direct inside forward who works the half-spaces with purpose.
GPS / value trend
Logged GPS and value trends appear after at least two real daily snapshots.
Daily snapshots only. Sparse history stays hidden rather than drawing a flat line.
Value trajectory
Value trajectory appears once GoalPost has a current FMV and dated season ratings.
Dashed line is reconstructed from season ratings, age, role, and today's GoalPost value. Logged-live value points will appear here once history accrues.

GoalPost sees O. Appollis as a midfielder who plays like an inside forward, constantly drifting off the flank into pockets where he can face goal. He looks to carry the ball, combine quickly, and attack the space between defenders rather than stay wide and static. The upside is in his movement and intent; the ceiling is held down by a limited all-round game.
