S. Bendebka is a 34-year-old attacking midfielder at Al-Fateh, enjoying a standout season — 9 goals and 1 assists in 28 appearances, a Season grade of 36, top 85% of Pro League attacking midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 18.7, ranking 152nd of 167 in the Pro League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (73.1% of available minutes). He brings 0.4 goal contributions per 90 (0.36 goals, 0.04 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bendebka.

Judged on this season alone, Bendebka graded 36 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 11th of 13 of the 13 attacking midfielders in the Pro League, on 9 goals and 1 assist in 28 appearances (0.403 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 36 → 36). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 13th of 13 of the 13 attacking midfielders in the Pro League. At 34 Bendebka is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.8 reflects that trajectory.

9 goals in 28 appearances (0.32 per game) for a mid-table side. Add 1 assist for 10 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 73.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.4 goal contributions per 90 (0.36 goals, 0.04 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 34, 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 18.7, Bendebka carries the 13th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Pro League of 13. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.4 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
