Scout report

Squad depthAttacking midfielder

Y. Soteldo is a 29-year-old attacking midfielder at Fluminense, rated 41.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 225th of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (31.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.43 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.22 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Soteldo.

Judged on this season alone, Soteldo graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 41st of 57 of the 57 attacking midfielders in the Serie A, on 2 goals and 2 assists in 22 appearances (0.434 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 24 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, 30th of 57 of the 57 attacking midfielders in the Serie A. At 29 Soteldo is in his prime years, and a market index of 10.8 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Soteldo missed 9 games through injury (hamstring, muscle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 22 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.

Goals / app

2 goals in 22 appearances (0.09 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.43 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.22 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 31.8% 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 41.4, Soteldo carries the 30th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Serie A of 57 — though on just 22 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.43 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
