Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

N. Melissas is a 33-year-old goalkeeper at Larisa, rated 10.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 253rd of 267 on scout potential in the Super League 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (36.1% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Melissas.

Judged on this season alone, Melissas graded 3 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 21st of 22 of the 22 goalkeepers in the Super League 1, on 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 10 → 3). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 11, 22nd of 22 of the 22 goalkeepers in the Super League 1. At 33 Melissas is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.

2 clean sheets in 13 appearances (15% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (12th of 14) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, 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 10.5, Melissas carries the 22nd-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Super League 1 of 22 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
