Scout report

Squad depthWinger

B. Waine is a 25-year-old winger at Port Vale, rated 39.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 237th of 481 on scout potential in the League One. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (27.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.32 goal contributions per 90 (0.24 goals, 0.08 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Waine.

Judged on this season alone, Waine graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 10th of 17 of the 17 wingers in the League One, on 3 goals and 1 assist in 27 appearances (0.316 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 11). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 39, 10th of 17 of the 17 wingers in the League One. At 25 Waine is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.7 reflects that trajectory.

  • Game time. Only 27.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 39.1, Waine carries the 10th-highest potential of the wingers in the League One of 17, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Port Vale finished 22nd of 24) — 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 (0.32 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
