Squad depthCentral midfielder

Y. Adli is a 26-year-old central midfielder at Al Shabab, rated 45.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 33rd of 167 on scout potential in the Pro League. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (52.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.36 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Adli.

Judged on this season alone, Adli graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 17th of 32 of the 32 central midfielders in the Pro League, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 2.357 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 30 → 19). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 46, top 13% of the 32 central midfielders in the Pro League. At 26 Adli is in his prime years, and a market index of 13.5 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 52.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 45.7, Adli carries the 4th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Pro League of 32 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
