Squad depthCentre-forward

E. Chilufya is a 26-year-old centre-forward at FC Midtjylland, rated 34.7 overall by Field Insider's model. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (18.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.49 goal contributions per 90 (0.25 goals, 0.25 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Chilufya.

On the season, Chilufya graded 9 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal and 1 assist in 12 appearances (0.492 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 19 → 9). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 35. At 26 Chilufya is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Chilufya missed 10 games through injury (knee, unknown, inactive) out of roughly 32 this season. The 12 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.

1 goal in 12 appearances (0.08 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 2 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.49 goal contributions per 90 (0.25 goals, 0.25 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 18.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 34.7 overall — developing / rotation level. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.49 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
