On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 40th of 45 of the 45 attacking midfielders in the Premier League. At 30 Arfaoui is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.4 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

1 goal in 29 appearances (0.03 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 3 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 76.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Output. 0.12 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.24 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 21, Arfaoui carries the 40th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premier League of 45, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Ghazl El Mehalla finished 16th of 21) — 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 (0.12 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
