Squad depthWinger

E. Nketiah is a 27-year-old winger at Crystal Palace, rated 58.5 overall by Field Insider's model. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (24.3% of available minutes). He brings 0.43 goal contributions per 90 (0.43 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Nketiah.

On the season, Nketiah graded 16 for current form (age-blind), on 2 goals and 0 assists in 12 appearances (0.433 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 59. At 27 Nketiah is in his prime years, and a market index of 70.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Nketiah missed 23 games through injury (thigh, hamstring) out of roughly 38 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.

Goals / app

2 goals in 12 appearances (0.17 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.43 goal contributions per 90 (0.43 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.6/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 24.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 58.5 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.43 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. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
