Scout report

Squad depthAttacking midfielder

Y. Meïté is a 30-year-old attacking midfielder at Damac, rated 27.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 226th of 317 on scout potential in the Pro League. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (46.4% of available minutes). He brings 0.32 goal contributions per 90 (0.32 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Meïté.

Judged on this season alone, Meïté graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 22nd of 35 of the 35 attacking midfielders in the Pro League, on 5 goals and 0 assists in 22 appearances (0.317 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 11 → 20). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 29th of 35 of the 35 attacking midfielders in the Pro League. At 30 Meïté is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.9 reflects that trajectory.

5 goals in 22 appearances (0.23 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 46.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 0.38 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 27.4, Meïté carries the 29th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Pro League of 35, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Damac finished 16th of 18) — 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 (0.32 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
