Scout report
Y. Poulsen is a 32-year-old centre-forward at Hamburger SV, rated 23.6 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (19% of available minutes). He brings 0.26 goal contributions per 90 (0.26 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Poulsen.
On the season, Poulsen graded 8 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal and 0 assists in 15 appearances (0.263 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 8 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 24. At 32 Poulsen is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Poulsen missed 14 games through injury (thigh, ankle, inactive) out of roughly 34 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.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Hamburger SV finished 13th of 18 · a lower-table side
1 goal in 15 appearances (0.07 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 19% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Output. 0.26 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
- 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
Rated 23.6 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.26 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
