Miguel Cardoso is a 32-year-old attacking midfielder at Kayserispor, rated 24.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 512th of 720 in the 1. Lig. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (96.1% of available minutes). He brings 0.25 goal contributions per 90 (0.06 goals, 0.19 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cardoso.
Judged on this season alone, Cardoso graded 26 — a solid campaign that ranks top 38% of the 127 attacking midfielders in the 1. Lig, on 2 goals and 6 assists in 32 appearances (0.252 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 42 → 26). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 99th of 127 of the 127 attacking midfielders in the 1. Lig. At 32 Cardoso is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2 goals in 32 appearances (0.06 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 6 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 8 goal contributions (0.25 per appearance).
With a Rating of 24.7, Cardoso carries the 99th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the 1. Lig of 127, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Kayserispor finished 17th of 18) — 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 (0.25 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~16), then tapers with age. At 32, Cardoso sits on 6.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Cardoso's projected Rating — 24.7 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
