Scout report

Experienced headGoal-getting Attacking midfielder

R. Fraser is a 32-year-old attacking midfielder at Western Sydney Wanderers, enjoying a standout season — 4 goals and 3 assists in 12 appearances, a Season grade of 20, top 60% of A-League attacking midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 7.2, ranking 167th of 193 in the A-League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (37% of available minutes). He brings 0.73 goal contributions per 90 (0.42 goals, 0.31 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Fraser.

Judged on this season alone, Fraser graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 24th of 40 of the 40 attacking midfielders in the A-League, on 4 goals and 3 assists in 12 appearances (0.727 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 2 → 20). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 7, 35th of 40 of the 40 attacking midfielders in the A-League. At 32 Fraser is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.2 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

4 goals in 12 appearances (0.33 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 7 goal contributions (0.58 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.73 goal contributions per 90 (0.42 goals, 0.31 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 37% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 0.52 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 7.2, Fraser carries the 35th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the A-League of 40 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.73 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
