D. Dumfries is a 30-year-old central midfielder at Inter, rated 42.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 302nd of 380 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (38.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.49 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Dumfries.
Judged on this season alone, Dumfries graded 22 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 56th of 90 of the 90 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 3 goals, 1 assist and 1.492 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 34 → 22). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, 72nd of 90 of the 90 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 30 Dumfries is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 13.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Dumfries missed 13 games through injury (ankle, rest) out of roughly 38 this season. The 20 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 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Inter finished 1st of 20 · a title-challenging side
1.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 93/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 38.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.49 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 42.4, Dumfries carries the 72nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 90. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
