Scout report

Experienced headCreative Attacking midfielder

W. Endo is a 33-year-old attacking midfielder at Liverpool, rated 18.2 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (10.4% of available minutes). He brings 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 0.44 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Endo.

On the season, Endo graded 5 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals and 1 assist in 8 appearances (0.437 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 4 → 5). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 18. At 33 Endo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Endo missed 16 games through injury (foot, ankle, injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 8 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.

Goals / app

0 goals in 8 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 1 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 0.44 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 97.9/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 10.4% 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

Rated 18.2 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.44 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
