Scout report
J. Powell is a 27-year-old attacking midfielder at Salford City, rated 26.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 12th of 254 on scout potential in the League Two. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.71 goal contributions per 90 (0.43 goals, 0.28 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Powell.
Judged on this season alone, Powell graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 6th of 12 of the 12 attacking midfielders in the League Two, on 3 goals and 2 assists in 8 appearances (0.708 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 24 → 18). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, top 9% of the 12 attacking midfielders in the League Two. At 27 Powell is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Salford City finished 1st of 24 · a title-challenging side
3 goals in 8 appearances (0.38 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 5 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.71 goal contributions per 90 (0.43 goals, 0.28 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 30.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 26.7, Powell carries the 1st-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the League Two of 12 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.71 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.
