3 goals in 14 appearances (0.21 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.57 goal contributions per 90 (0.43 goals, 0.14 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 39.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 36, 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 8.7, Bye carries the 20th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the 1. Division of 20 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.57 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
