Scout report

Experienced headCentre-forward

A. Cornelius is a 33-year-old centre-forward at FC Copenhagen, enjoying a standout season — 2 goals and 1 assists in 18 appearances, a Season grade of 16, top 70% of Superliga centre-forwards. On long-term scout potential he's rated 13.4, ranking 199th of 207 in the Superliga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (42% of available minutes). He brings 0.34 goal contributions per 90 (0.23 goals, 0.11 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cornelius.

Judged on this season alone, Cornelius graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 16th of 23 of the 23 centre-forwards in the Superliga, on 2 goals and 1 assist in 18 appearances (0.34 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 20 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 22nd of 23 of the 23 centre-forwards in the Superliga. At 33 Cornelius is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Cornelius missed 12 games through injury (injury) out of roughly 33 this season. The 18 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.

2 goals in 18 appearances (0.11 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 3 goal contributions in all.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 42% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, 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 13.4, Cornelius carries the 22nd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Superliga of 23 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.34 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
