Scout report

Experienced headCentral midfielder

A. Duncan is a 33-year-old central midfielder at Venezia, rated 16.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 368th of 389 on scout potential in the Serie B. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (21.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.98 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Duncan.

Judged on this season alone, Duncan graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 91st of 107 of the 107 central midfielders in the Serie B, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 1.981 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 11 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 105th of 107 of the 107 central midfielders in the Serie B. At 33 Duncan is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.5 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 17 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 21.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 16.5, Duncan carries the 105th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie B of 107 — though on just 17 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
