The profile is that of an experienced forward deployed to influence the final third, a role that frames the expectations around direct goal contributions and chance creation[^fact-1]. ## Season form Usage has been limited: 11 appearances and 496 minutes across the campaign[^fact-2]. Output has been modest in aggregate — 2 goals and 0 assists so far[^fact-3] — and the provider rating across the season sits at 6.86[^fact-4]. Under that surface, the last five matches show a more pro-active creative footprint with 0.60 expected assists across those fixtures[^fact-5]. Over the same five-game window Lobjanidze produced 1 goal and 1 assist in 400 minutes[^fact-6], a concentrated run that contrasts with his wider-season numbers[^fact-2][^fact-3]. ## Availability & momentum Availability appears intact given the recent minutes accumulation: 400 minutes in the last five appearances suggests selection and fitness to finish matches[^fact-6]. The last outing was a 0–3 loss at Fatih Karagümrük in which Lobjanidze scored and recorded a match rating of 7.34[^fact-7]. That single-game output highlights a momentum swing — the season totals are low but the immediate form line shows rising end-product and playmaking involvement[^fact-3][^fact-5][^fact-6]. ## What to watch Atlanta United head into their next fixture against Orlando City on 2026-05-16T23:30:00+00:00, where Lobjanidze’s recent uptick in chance creation (0.60 xA in his last five) will be an indicator of whether the run was transient or the start of a sustained return to influence[^fact-8][^fact-5]. If selection mirrors the last five appearances — 400 minutes of action across that span — continuity in minutes will be the simplest path to maintaining the improved attacking output[^fact-6]. The clearest short-term value surfaced by the numbers is the divergence between season totals (2 goals, 0 assists; 11 appearances, 496 minutes) and the compressed recent productivity (1 goal, 1 assist; 400 minutes), which makes the next match a useful barometer for whether the form is repeatable under different opposition[^fact-3][^fact-2][^fact-6][^fact-8]. ### Cited facts [^fact-1]: **Identity** — 31 years old · Georgia · Attacker · current club Atlanta United.
