Scout report
M. Suleymanov is a 26-year-old centre-forward at Sporting Kansas City, rated 33.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 269th of 481 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (48.5% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Suleymanov.
Judged on this season alone, Suleymanov graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 43rd of 50 of the 50 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer, on 1 goal and 1 assist in 21 appearances (0.172 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 18 → 11). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, 26th of 50 of the 50 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer. At 26 Suleymanov is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.2 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Sporting Kansas City finished 15th of 15 · a relegation-threatened side
1 goal in 21 appearances (0.05 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 2 goal contributions in all.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 48.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Output. 0.17 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 33.1, Suleymanov carries the 26th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer of 50, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Sporting Kansas City finished 15th of 15) — 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 (0.17 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.
