Squad depthGoal-getting Centre-forward

O. Faraj is a 24-year-old centre-forward at Degerfors IF, rated 33 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 86th of 248 on scout potential in the Allsvenskan. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (39.6% of available minutes). He brings 0.59 goal contributions per 90 (0.51 goals, 0.08 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Faraj.

Judged on this season alone, Faraj graded 22 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 15th of 24 of the 24 centre-forwards in the Allsvenskan, on 6 goals and 1 assist in 13 appearances (0.59 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 10 → 22). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, 14th of 24 of the 24 centre-forwards in the Allsvenskan. At 24 Faraj is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.8 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

6 goals in 13 appearances (0.46 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side. Add 1 assist for 7 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.59 goal contributions per 90 (0.51 goals, 0.08 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 39.6% 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 33, Faraj carries the 14th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Allsvenskan of 24 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.59 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
