Scout report
I. Samuels is a 23-year-old full-back at Dundee, rated 44.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 67th of 225 on scout potential in the Premiership. An emerging talent, he has been a regular starter this season (61.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.25 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Samuels.
Judged on this season alone, Samuels graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 28th of 41 of the 41 full-backs in the Premiership, on 4 clean sheets and 3.254 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 18). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 45, top 35% of the 41 full-backs in the Premiership. At 23 Samuels is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 10 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Dundee finished 9th of 12 · a lower-table side
3.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (9th of 12) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 61.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 44.7, Samuels carries the 14th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premiership (top 35%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Dundee finished 9th of 12) — 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 (3.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
