Scout report

Experienced headCentre-forward

R. Fraser is a 32-year-old centre-forward at Southampton, rated 21.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 167th of 193 on scout potential in the A-League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (20.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.2 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 0.2 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Fraser.

Judged on this season alone, Fraser graded 5 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 24th of 40 of the 40 attacking midfielders in the A-League, on 0 goals and 2 assists in 16 appearances (0.203 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 2 → 5). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 35th of 40 of the 40 attacking midfielders in the A-League. At 32 Fraser is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4 reflects that trajectory.

0 goals in 16 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 2 goal contributions in all.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 20.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.2 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 21.7, Fraser carries the 35th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the A-League of 40 — though on just 16 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 (0.2 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
