Output in context · Burton Albion finished 17th of 24 · a lower-table side
13 goals in 45 appearances (0.29 per game) is double figures — and for a lower-table side (17th 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 7 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 20 goal contributions (0.44 per appearance).
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 96.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Final-third output. 0.45 goal contributions per 90 (0.29 goals, 0.16 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 35.8, Beesley carries the 30th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the League One of 60, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Burton Albion finished 17th 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 (0.45 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
