Scout report

Squad depthCentral midfielder

Nabil Emad Dunga is a 30-year-old central midfielder at Al Najma, rated 23.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 83rd of 101 on scout potential in the Pro League. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.45 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Dunga.

Judged on this season alone, Dunga graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 24th of 26 of the 26 central midfielders in the Pro League, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.446 defensive actions per 90.

We hold a single season for Dunga, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, 22nd of 26 of the 26 central midfielders in the Pro League. At 30 Dunga is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 12 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 18) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 29.9% 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 23.3, Dunga carries the 22nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Pro League of 26 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
