Scout report

Squad depthAttacking midfielder

D. Kamada is a 30-year-old attacking midfielder at Crystal Palace, rated 43.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 98th of 134 on scout potential in the Premier League. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (55.8% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kamada.

Judged on this season alone, Kamada graded 0 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 9th of 9 of the 9 attacking midfielders in the Premier League, on 0 goals and 0 assists in 28 appearances (0 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 0 → 0). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 44, 6th of 9 of the 9 attacking midfielders in the Premier League. At 30 Kamada is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 26.2 reflects that trajectory.

0 goals in 28 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.6/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 55.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 43.6, Kamada carries the 6th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premier League of 9, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Crystal Palace finished 15th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
