Scout report

Experienced headCreative Attacking midfielder

S. Tanser is a 31-year-old attacking midfielder at ST Mirren, rated 18 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 202nd of 225 on scout potential in the Premiership. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (24.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.51 goal contributions per 90 (0.1 goals, 0.41 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Tanser.

Judged on this season alone, Tanser graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 25th of 40 of the 40 attacking midfielders in the Premiership, on 1 goal and 4 assists in 24 appearances (0.507 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 17 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 36th of 40 of the 40 attacking midfielders in the Premiership. At 31 Tanser is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.9 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

1 goal in 24 appearances (0.04 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 5 goal contributions (0.21 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.51 goal contributions per 90 (0.1 goals, 0.41 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Defensive volume. 3.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 24.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, 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 18, Tanser carries the 36th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premiership of 40 — though on just 24 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.51 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
