Project playerCentre-forward

O. Faraj is a 24-year-old centre-forward at Halmstad, rated 33.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 91st of 215 on scout potential in the Allsvenskan. An emerging talent, he has been a regular starter this season (67.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.27 goal contributions per 90 (0.27 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Faraj.

Judged on this season alone, Faraj graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 13th of 19 of the 19 centre-forwards in the Allsvenskan, on 4 goals and 0 assists in 22 appearances (0.268 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 22 → 23). Across the 7 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, 9th of 19 of the 19 centre-forwards in the Allsvenskan. At 24 Faraj is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.9 reflects that trajectory.

4 goals in 22 appearances (0.18 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 67.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Output. 0.27 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 33.8, Faraj carries the 9th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Allsvenskan of 19, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Halmstad finished 16th of 16) — 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 (0.27 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
