Squad depthGoal-getting Attacking midfielder

M. Mattsson is a 27-year-old attacking midfielder at FC Copenhagen, rated 33.2 overall by Field Insider's model. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29.9% of available minutes). He brings 0.59 goal contributions per 90 (0.39 goals, 0.2 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mattsson.

On the season, Mattsson graded 17 for current form (age-blind), on 2 goals and 1 assist in 6 appearances (0.591 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 24 → 17). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 33. At 27 Mattsson is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Mattsson missed 27 games through injury (knee) out of roughly 33 this season. The 6 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

2 goals in 6 appearances (0.33 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 3 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.59 goal contributions per 90 (0.39 goals, 0.2 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 29.9% 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 33.2 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.59 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.
