Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 30.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 66.3, Wright carries the 11th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Championship (top 17%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
