On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 45th of 63 of the 63 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 30 Emad is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.5 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 21) 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 54.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 19, Emad carries the 45th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 63, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Al Ittihad finished 15th of 21) — 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 solid defensive volume (3.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
