Scouting context

Scouting priority

30.6

Value index 30.6 × age multiplier 1.00 × Europe multiplier 1.00 = 30.6.

U23 ≤23 ×1.30; European league phase ≥90 min ×0.60. These are Aberdeen scouting preferences, not measured quality. The value index is not a transfer value.

Scouting context

League-phase shop window

none

No league-phase minutes in the covered competitions

0 league-phase minutes across 0 appearances.

Only the league phase of the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League is covered; qualifiers and play-offs are excluded. Unknown is not “not in Europe” and is never discounted.

Coverage and limits

What this profile can and cannot say

Source · API-Football

Current club: Derby (EFL Championship); 2026-27 statistics at Derby in the EFL Championship; Wide forward; role family wide_forward; cohort basis role_family; cohort n 37.

The provider rating is opaque and relative to the player's league and role cohort. The adjusted percentile is an empirical Premiership alignment, not a measured equivalence. No contracts, wages, fees, release clauses or recommendations are claimed. Forward and progressive passes, carries, pressures and aerial wins are not in the feed.
