All League One standouts →One of the biggest game-time risers in the League One: on the pitch for 79% of Oxford United's available minutes this season, up from 16% last year — a bench-to-starter jump the ratings will catch up with at the next checkpoint.
S. Dembélé is a 30-year-old winger at Oxford United, rated 24.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 136th of 213 on scout potential in the League One. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.9% of available minutes). He brings 0.56 goal contributions per 90 (0.28 goals, 0.28 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Dembélé.
Judged on this season alone, Dembélé graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 10th of 14 of the 14 wingers in the League One, on 2 goals and 2 assists in 8 appearances (0.563 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 3 → 17). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 10th of 14 of the 14 wingers in the League One. At 30 Dembélé is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Oxford United finished 7th of 24 · an upper-table side
2 goals in 8 appearances (0.25 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.56 goal contributions per 90 (0.28 goals, 0.28 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 30.9% 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 24.1, Dembélé carries the 10th-highest potential of the wingers in the League One of 14 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.56 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
