Squad depthAttacking midfielder

M. Phaëton is a 26-year-old attacking midfielder at FC Zurich, rated 36.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 136th of 233 on scout potential in the Super League. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (46.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.45 goal contributions per 90 (0.39 goals, 0.06 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Phaëton.

Judged on this season alone, Phaëton graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 21st of 44 of the 44 attacking midfielders in the Super League, on 7 goals and 1 assist in 25 appearances (0.451 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 36 → 23). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 37, 32nd of 44 of the 44 attacking midfielders in the Super League. At 26 Phaëton is in his prime years, and a market index of 7.5 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

7 goals in 25 appearances (0.28 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side. Add 1 assist for 8 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.45 goal contributions per 90 (0.39 goals, 0.06 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 46.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.01 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 36.6, Phaëton carries the 32nd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Super League of 44, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (FC Zurich finished 10th of 12) — 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 productive contributor (0.45 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.
