Scout report

Key starterWinger

B. Akinsola is a 23-year-old winger at AVS, rated 60.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 84th of 317 on scout potential in the Primeira Liga. An emerging talent, he has been an ever-present this season (80.2% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Akinsola.

Judged on this season alone, Akinsola graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 12th of 23 of the 23 wingers in the Primeira Liga, on 1 goal and 4 assists in 34 appearances (0.183 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 12 → 20). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

Goals / app

1 goal in 34 appearances (0.03 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 5 goal contributions (0.15 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 80.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Output. 0.18 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

With a Rating of 60.7, Akinsola carries the 7th-highest potential of the wingers in the Primeira Liga (top 31%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (AVS finished 18th of 18) — 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 (0.18 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
