Output in context · Western Sydney Wanderers finished 12th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
2 goals in 26 appearances (0.08 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 5 goal contributions (0.19 per appearance).
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 98.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Output. 0.2 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 18.3, Thurgate carries the 24th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the A-League of 40, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Western Sydney Wanderers finished 12th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.2 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
