Scout report

Experienced headAttacking midfielder

S. Zuber is a 34-year-old attacking midfielder at FC Zurich, enjoying a standout season — 4 goals and 3 assists in 18 appearances, a Season grade of 20, top 59% of Super League attacking midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 12.2, ranking 226th of 233 in the Super League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (48.6% of available minutes). He brings 0.39 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.17 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Zuber.

Judged on this season alone, Zuber graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 26th of 44 of the 44 attacking midfielders in the Super League, on 4 goals and 3 assists in 18 appearances (0.389 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 2 → 20). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 43rd of 44 of the 44 attacking midfielders in the Super League. At 34 Zuber is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.2 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

4 goals in 18 appearances (0.22 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 7 goal contributions (0.39 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.39 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.17 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • 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 12.2, Zuber carries the 43rd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Super League of 44, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (FC Zurich finished 10th of 12) — 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 productive contributor (0.39 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
