Scout report

Squad depthAttacking midfielder

Léo Chú is a 26-year-old attacking midfielder at FC Dallas, rated 32.4 overall by Field Insider's model. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (8.1% of available minutes). He brings 0.43 goal contributions per 90 (0.43 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Chú.

On the season, Chú graded 4 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal and 0 assists in 4 appearances (0.425 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 8 → 4). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 32. At 26 Chú is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Chú missed 7 games through injury (knee, illness) out of roughly 36 this season. The 4 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 4 appearances (0.25 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.43 goal contributions per 90 (0.43 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 8.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 32.4 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.43 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
