Scout report
Afonso Sousa is a 26-year-old central midfielder at Samsunspor, rated 39.9 overall by Field Insider's model. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (11.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.6 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sousa.
On the season, Sousa graded 10 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal, 1 assist and 2.601 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 40 → 10). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 40. At 26 Sousa is in his prime years, and a market index of 9.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Sousa missed 21 games through injury (ankle, inactive, knee) out of roughly 34 this season. The 8 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Samsunspor finished 7th of 18 · a mid-table side
2.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 8 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 1.04 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Creativity. 0.52 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 11.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 39.9 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
