On long-term scout potential he's rated 16.3, ranking 445th of 481 in the League One. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (52.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.54 goal contributions per 90 (0.29 goals, 0.25 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on May.

Judged on this season alone, May graded 28 — a solid campaign that ranks top 37% of the 60 centre-forwards in the League One, on 7 goals and 6 assists in 34 appearances (0.538 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 46 → 28). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 50th of 60 of the 60 centre-forwards in the League One. At 33 May is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.1 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

7 goals in 34 appearances (0.21 per game) for a mid-table side. He also laid on 6 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 13 goal contributions (0.38 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.54 goal contributions per 90 (0.29 goals, 0.25 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 52.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 16.3, May carries the 50th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the League One of 60. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.54 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
