Output in context · Cheltenham finished 18th of 24 · a lower-table side
16 goals in 42 appearances (0.38 per game) is a 15-goal haul — and for a lower-table side (18th of 24), a real standout. Weaker sides create and score less, so carrying double-figure output there says more than the raw number alone. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 19 goal contributions (0.45 per appearance).
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 76.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Final-third output. 0.54 goal contributions per 90 (0.46 goals, 0.09 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 30.8, Hutchinson carries the 15th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the League Two (top 20%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Cheltenham 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 productive contributor (0.54 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.
