S. Fofana is a 31-year-old central midfielder at FC Porto, rated 25.2 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (16.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.05 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Fofana.
On the season, Fofana graded 16 for current form (age-blind), on 3 goals, 0 assists and 3.051 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 11 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 25. At 31 Fofana is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 12 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Fofana missed 6 games through injury (muscle, coach's decision, international duty) out of roughly 34 this season. The 12 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Rated 25.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

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 (~27), then tapers with age. At 31, Fofana sits on 12, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Fofana's projected Rating — 25.2 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.
