Nélson Luz is a 28-year-old attacking midfielder at Qingdao Youth Island, rated 24.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 70th of 279 on scout potential in the Super League. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (79.1% of available minutes). He brings 0.25 goal contributions per 90 (0.21 goals, 0.04 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Luz.

5 goals in 27 appearances (0.19 per game) for a mid-table side. Add 1 assist for 6 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 79.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Output. 0.25 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 24.5, Luz carries the 10th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Super League (top 34%). In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.25 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
