Scout report

Project playerGoal-getting Attacking midfielder

Marco Asensio is a 30-year-old attacking midfielder at Fenerbahçe, enjoying a standout season — 11 goals and 12 assists in 25 appearances, a Season grade of 61, top 5% of Süper Lig attacking midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 32.2, ranking 191st of 326 in the Süper Lig. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter (69.9% of available minutes). He brings 1.1 goal contributions per 90 (0.53 goals, 0.57 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Asensio.

Judged on this season alone, Asensio graded 61 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 6% of the 58 attacking midfielders in the Süper Lig, on 11 goals and 12 assists in 25 appearances (1.098 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 14 → 61). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, 37th of 58 of the 58 attacking midfielders in the Süper Lig. At 30 Asensio is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Asensio missed 4 games through injury (injury, inactive) out of roughly 34 this season. The 25 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.

In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (1.1 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
