S. Dembélé is a 29-year-old central midfielder at Oxford United, rated 32 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 422nd of 493 in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (15.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.2 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Dembélé.
Judged on this season alone, Dembélé graded 4 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 73rd of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 2.198 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 19 → 4). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, 66th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship. At 29 Dembélé is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 19 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (22nd of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
With a Rating of 32, Dembélé carries the 66th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 73 — though on just 19 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~15), then tapers with age. At 29, Dembélé sits on 8.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Dembélé's projected Rating — 32 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
