Scout report

Experienced headDefensive midfielder

E. Alioski is a 34-year-old defensive midfielder at FC Lugano, enjoying a standout season — 1 goals and 2 assists in 20 appearances, a Season grade of 12, top 94% of Super League defensive midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 9.5, ranking 232nd of 233 in the Super League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (25.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.08 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Alioski.

Judged on this season alone, Alioski graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 34th of 36 of the 36 defensive midfielders in the Super League, on 1 goal, 2 assists and 2.083 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 9 → 12). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 10, 36th of 36 of the 36 defensive midfielders in the Super League. At 34 Alioski is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 12) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 25.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, 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 9.5, Alioski carries the 36th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Super League of 36 — though on just 20 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
