An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (35.6% of available minutes). He brings 0.24 goal contributions per 90 (0.24 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Draper.

Judged on this season alone, Draper graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 18th of 22 of the 22 centre-forwards in the Championship, on 2 goals and 0 assists in 11 appearances (0.244 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 24 → 14). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

2 goals in 11 appearances (0.18 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 35.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.24 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

With a Rating of 62.6, Draper carries the 9th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Championship of 22 — though on just 11 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 (0.24 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
