Scout report
André Franco is a 28-year-old attacking midfielder at Chicago Fire, rated 26 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (14% of available minutes). He brings 0.89 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 0.89 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Franco.
On the season, Franco graded 9 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals and 4 assists in 6 appearances (0.893 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 7 → 9). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26. At 28 Franco is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Franco missed 5 games through injury (lower-body) out of roughly 37 this season. The 6 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.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Chicago Fire finished 8th of 15 · a mid-table side
0 goals in 6 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 4 goal contributions (0.67 per appearance).
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.89 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 0.89 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 14% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 26 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.89 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
