“A seasoned midfield linker who keeps Iran’s engine ticking.”
GoalPost verdict
GoalPost score (GPS)
GoalPost read
R. Cheshmi still offers value as a veteran box-to-box midfielder, but that value is softened by the level of competition and the fact that he is beyond his most typical peak window.

Analysis overview
R. Cheshmi reads as a box-to-box midfielder with veteran economy: he shuttles into space, offers a safe outlet, and helps connect phases without overcomplicating the play. His value is in positioning, timing, and simple forward support rather than flash, giving Iran a steady two-way presence in midfield. GoalPost sees a limited but reliable operator who does the unglamorous work and keeps the team compact.
