Scout report

Project playerAttacking midfielder

Y. Dhanda is a 27-year-old attacking midfielder at Dundee, rated 36 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 130th of 225 on scout potential in the Premiership. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (63% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Dhanda.

Judged on this season alone, Dhanda graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 40 of the 40 attacking midfielders in the Premiership, on 2 goals and 0 assists in 28 appearances (0.084 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 8 → 10). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, 27th of 40 of the 40 attacking midfielders in the Premiership. At 27 Dhanda is in his prime years, and a market index of 8 reflects that trajectory.

2 goals in 28 appearances (0.07 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 63% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Output. 0.08 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 36, Dhanda carries the 27th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premiership of 40, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Dundee finished 9th 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 work-in-progress on end product (0.08 goal contributions 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.
