Scout report

Project playerCentre-forward

C. Bishop is a 29-year-old centre-forward at Portsmouth, rated 45.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 344th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (85.9% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bishop.

Judged on this season alone, Bishop graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 44th of 66 of the 66 centre-forwards in the Championship, on 3 goals and 1 assist in 42 appearances (0.106 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 38 → 18). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 46, 50th of 66 of the 66 centre-forwards in the Championship. At 29 Bishop is in his prime years, and a market index of 11.5 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

3 goals in 42 appearances (0.07 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 85.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Output. 0.11 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 45.5, Bishop carries the 50th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Championship of 66, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Portsmouth finished 18th 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 (0.11 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
