Judged on this season alone, Fayoumi graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 39th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Premier League, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 3.32 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Fayoumi, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 63rd of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 32 Fayoumi is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Kahraba Ismailia finished 19th of 21 · a relegation-threatened side
3.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 21) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 32.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 11.8, Fayoumi carries the 63rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 73, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Kahraba Ismailia finished 19th of 21) — 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 moderate defensive volume (3.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
