Judged on this season alone, Nwakaeme graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 52nd of 58 of the 58 attacking midfielders in the Süper Lig, on 0 goals and 2 assists in 15 appearances (0.277 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 15 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 8, 58th of 58 of the 58 attacking midfielders in the Süper Lig. At 37 Nwakaeme is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Nwakaeme missed 16 games through injury (muscle, muscle bruise) out of roughly 34 this season. The 15 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.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Trabzonspor finished 3rd of 18 · an upper-table side
0 goals in 15 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 2 goal contributions in all.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 40.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Output. 0.28 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.11 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Age curve. At 37, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 8.1, Nwakaeme carries the 58th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Süper Lig of 58 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.28 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
