On the season, Forrest graded 0 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals and 0 assists in 13 appearances (0 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 0 → 0). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

0 goals in 13 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 26.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0 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

Rated 21.9 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
