Scout report
Ivan Cavaleiro is a 32-year-old attacking midfielder at FC Zurich, rated 14.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 222nd of 233 on scout potential in the Super League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (26% of available minutes). He brings 0.41 goal contributions per 90 (0.3 goals, 0.1 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cavaleiro.
Judged on this season alone, Cavaleiro graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 41st of 44 of the 44 attacking midfielders in the Super League, on 3 goals and 1 assist in 13 appearances (0.405 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 9 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 42nd of 44 of the 44 attacking midfielders in the Super League. At 32 Cavaleiro is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · FC Zurich finished 10th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
3 goals in 13 appearances (0.23 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 4 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.41 goal contributions per 90 (0.3 goals, 0.1 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 26% 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 14.2, Cavaleiro carries the 42nd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Super League of 44 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.41 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
