Scout report

Experienced headAttacking midfielder

Gelson Martins is a 31-year-old attacking midfielder at Olympiakos Piraeus, rated 20.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 180th of 267 on scout potential in the Super League 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (58.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.21 goal contributions per 90 (0.16 goals, 0.05 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Martins.

Judged on this season alone, Martins graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 23rd of 32 of the 32 attacking midfielders in the Super League 1, on 3 goals and 1 assist in 26 appearances (0.213 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 17 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 21st of 32 of the 32 attacking midfielders in the Super League 1. At 31 Martins is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.9 reflects that trajectory.

3 goals in 26 appearances (0.12 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 4 goal contributions in all.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 58.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.21 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Age curve. At 31, 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 20.5, Martins carries the 21st-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Super League 1 of 32. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.21 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
