Each attribute, out of 99: how he compares with the 412 outfield players in League One with ten full games or more, over 2026/27, marked down when he's below par among midfielders (so playing up front alone doesn't make a shooter); passing against other midfielders only, since where you play decides how safe your passes are. Rating is his average match rating. League matches only.
League matches in the competitions we cover. Per 90 shown from five full games. Cups, Europe and internationals aren’t included.
