Scout report
D. Kamada is a 30-year-old defensive midfielder at Crystal Palace, rated 47.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 313th of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (70.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.68 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kamada.
Judged on this season alone, Kamada graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 42nd of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Premier League, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.679 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 16 → 24). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 48, 44th of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Premier League. At 30 Kamada is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 28.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Kamada missed 8 games through injury (hamstring, knee problems, injured doubtful) out of roughly 38 this season. The 28 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.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Crystal Palace finished 15th of 20 · a lower-table side
3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 20) 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.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 70.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.6/100).
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 47.8, Kamada carries the 44th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier League of 55, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Crystal Palace finished 15th of 20) — 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 solid defensive volume (3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
