Matheus Alves is a 21-year-old attacking midfielder at CSKA Moscow, rated 35 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 19th of 274 on scout potential in the Premier League and 2209th of 2874 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (45.2% of available minutes). He brings 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0.27 goals, 0.18 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Alves.

Judged on this season alone, Alves graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 40 of the 40 attacking midfielders in the Premier League, on 3 goals and 2 assists in 19 appearances (0.442 involvements per 90).

We hold a single season for Alves, 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 35, top 13% of the 40 attacking midfielders in the Premier League. At 21 Alves is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 3.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Alves missed 4 games through injury and 1 suspension (inactive, yellow cards) out of roughly 30 this season. The 19 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

  • Final-third output. 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0.27 goals, 0.18 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 45.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.42 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 35, Alves carries the 5th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premier League (top 13%). In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.44 goal contributions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
