Daniel Podence is a 30-year-old attacking midfielder at Olympiakos Piraeus, rated 23 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 165th of 267 on scout potential in the Super League 1. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (45.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.55 goal contributions per 90 (0.14 goals, 0.41 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Podence.

Judged on this season alone, Podence graded 22 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 14th of 32 of the 32 attacking midfielders in the Super League 1, on 2 goals and 6 assists in 20 appearances (0.546 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 23 → 22). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, 18th of 32 of the 32 attacking midfielders in the Super League 1. At 30 Podence is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.9 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

2 goals in 20 appearances (0.1 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 6 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 8 goal contributions (0.4 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.55 goal contributions per 90 (0.14 goals, 0.41 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 45.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.09 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 23, Podence carries the 18th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Super League 1 of 32. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.55 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
