Scout report

Squad depthCentre-forward

A. Armstrong is a 29-year-old centre-forward at Wolves, rated 37.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 165th of 272 on scout potential in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29.2% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Armstrong.

Judged on this season alone, Armstrong graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 20th of 22 of the 22 centre-forwards in the Championship, on 1 goal and 0 assists in 9 appearances (0.149 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 35 → 8). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 38, 11th of 22 of the 22 centre-forwards in the Championship. At 29 Armstrong is in his prime years, and a market index of 9.6 reflects that trajectory.

1 goal in 9 appearances (0.11 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 29.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.15 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 37.9, Armstrong carries the 11th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Championship of 22 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.15 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
