What he’s worth on the pitch today — our number, not the market’s. A penalty-box thief with a striker’s finish.
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.

Playing style
R. Pepi reads like an inside forward who lives on the shoulder and attacks space early. He is direct in his movement, quick to arrive in scoring zones, and clean when the chance falls to either foot. His game is built around sharp timing, an accurate strike, and a constant threat to turn half-chances into goals.
View style breakdown →World Cup 2026 outlook
For USA in 2026, he matters because he gives the squad a natural scorer who doesn’t need many looks to change a game. In a World Cup setting, that clinical edge can tilt tight matches when chances are scarce.
