Scout report
S. Fofana is a 23-year-old defensive midfielder at Grazer AK, rated 37.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 117th of 207 on scout potential in the Bundesliga. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (35.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.82 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Fofana.
Judged on this season alone, Fofana graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 44th of 47 of the 47 defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.82 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 8 → 10). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 37, 28th of 47 of the 47 defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga. At 23 Fofana is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 7.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Fofana missed 4 games through injury (knee, inactive) out of roughly 32 this season. The 15 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Fofana is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Grazer AK finished 11th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
3.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (11th of 12) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 35.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 37.4, Fofana carries the 28th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga of 47, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Grazer AK finished 11th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
