Scout report

Project playerAttacking midfielder

E. Iyoha is a 28-year-old attacking midfielder at Fortuna Düsseldorf, rated 42.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 221st of 320 on scout potential in the 2. Bundesliga. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (69.5% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Iyoha.

Judged on this season alone, Iyoha graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 43rd of 48 of the 48 attacking midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga, on 1 goal and 1 assist in 25 appearances (0.096 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, 37th of 48 of the 48 attacking midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga. At 28 Iyoha is in his prime years, and a market index of 9.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Iyoha missed 4 games through injury (calf) out of roughly 34 this season. The 25 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

1 goal in 25 appearances (0.04 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 2 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 69.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Output. 0.1 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 42.3, Iyoha carries the 37th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga of 48, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Fortuna Düsseldorf finished 17th of 18) — 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 (0.1 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
