Scout report

Squad depthDefensive midfielder

B. Dansoko is a 30-year-old defensive midfielder at FC Winterthur, rated 19.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 206th of 233 on scout potential in the Super League. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (38.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.44 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Dansoko.

Judged on this season alone, Dansoko graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 30th of 36 of the 36 defensive midfielders in the Super League, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 3.44 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 23 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, 32nd of 36 of the 36 defensive midfielders in the Super League. At 30 Dansoko is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.7 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 21 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (12th of 12) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 38.2% 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 19.9, Dansoko carries the 32nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Super League of 36, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (FC Winterthur finished 12th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
