Scout report

Squad depthWinger

A. Valencia is a 23-year-old winger at Antwerp, rated 54.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 100th of 294 on scout potential in the Jupiler Pro League. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (37% of available minutes). He brings 0.41 goal contributions per 90 (0.27 goals, 0.14 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Valencia.

Judged on this season alone, Valencia graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 19th of 38 of the 38 wingers in the Jupiler Pro League, on 4 goals and 2 assists in 23 appearances (0.406 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 9 → 18). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 54, top 40% of the 38 wingers in the Jupiler Pro League. At 23 Valencia is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 17.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Valencia missed 5 games through injury (ruptured cruciate ligament) out of roughly 40 this season. The 23 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.

Goals / app

4 goals in 23 appearances (0.17 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 6 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.41 goal contributions per 90 (0.27 goals, 0.14 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 37% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 54.1, Valencia carries the 15th-highest potential of the wingers in the Jupiler Pro League (top 40%). In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.41 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
