GoalPost read
F. Surman is a centre back whose value rests on a solid prime profile and a track record of his best recent form at Portland Timbers. A discount for league level still holds the price down as he develops toward his peak years.

Analysis overview
Surman is a straightforward centre-back who keeps his game disciplined and his positioning tidy. He defends first, steps in on time, and prefers clean, decisive actions to anything flashy. There is a steady, unspectacular edge to his work that suits the heart of a back line.
