Scout report

Project playerCentral midfielder

E. Iyoha is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Fortuna Düsseldorf, rated 41.1 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 (61.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.49 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Iyoha.

Judged on this season alone, Iyoha graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 43rd of 48 of the 48 attacking midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 2.493 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 24). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, 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 9.4 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.

Clean sheets

2.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th of 18) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 61.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 41.1, 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. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
