Scout report
Miguel Cardoso is a 32-year-old attacking midfielder at Kayserispor, enjoying a standout season — 2 goals and 6 assists in 32 appearances, a Season grade of 27, top 43% of Süper Lig attacking midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 24.7, ranking 244th of 326 in the Süper Lig. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present (96.1% of available minutes). He brings 0.25 goal contributions per 90 (0.06 goals, 0.19 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cardoso.
Judged on this season alone, Cardoso graded 27 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 25th of 58 of the 58 attacking midfielders in the Süper Lig, on 2 goals and 6 assists in 32 appearances (0.252 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 43 → 27). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 48th of 58 of the 58 attacking midfielders in the Süper Lig. At 32 Cardoso is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Kayserispor finished 17th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
2 goals in 32 appearances (0.06 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 6 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 8 goal contributions (0.25 per appearance).
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 96.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Output. 0.25 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.48 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- 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 24.7, Cardoso carries the 48th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Süper Lig of 58, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Kayserispor finished 17th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.25 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
