Scout report

Squad depthAttacking midfielder

A. Cannon is a 30-year-old attacking midfielder at Burton Albion, rated 22.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 399th of 481 on scout potential in the League One. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (39.9% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cannon.

Judged on this season alone, Cannon graded 0 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 72nd of 73 of the 73 attacking midfielders in the League One, on 0 goals and 0 assists in 16 appearances (0 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 14 → 0). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, 69th of 73 of the 73 attacking midfielders in the League One. At 30 Cannon is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Cannon missed 24 games through injury (knee, cruciate ligament rupture) out of roughly 46 this season. The 16 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

0 goals in 16 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 39.9% 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

With a Rating of 22.5, Cannon carries the 69th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the League One of 73 — though on just 16 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 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
