Óscar Melendo is a 28-year-old attacking midfielder at SHANGHAI SIPG, rated 20.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 105th of 271 in the Super League. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (38.3% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Melendo.
Judged on this season alone, Melendo graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 30 of the 30 attacking midfielders in the Super League, on 1 goal and 1 assist in 13 appearances (0.174 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 21 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 14th of 30 of the 30 attacking midfielders in the Super League. At 28 Melendo is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
1 goal in 13 appearances (0.08 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 2 goal contributions in all.
With a Rating of 20.8, Melendo carries the 14th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Super League of 30 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.17 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 (~6), then tapers with age. At 28, Melendo sits on 3.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Melendo's projected Rating — 20.8 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.
