Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 21, Arfaoui carries the 43rd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premier League of 49, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Ghazl El Mehalla finished 16th of 21) — 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 (0.12 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~3), then tapers with age. At 30, Arfaoui sits on 1.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Arfaoui's projected Rating — 21 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
