Scout report

Squad depthCentre-forward

J. Ayunga is a 29-year-old centre-forward at ST Mirren, rated 26 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 177th of 225 on scout potential in the Premiership. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (33.3% of available minutes). He brings 0.23 goal contributions per 90 (0.23 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ayunga.

Judged on this season alone, Ayunga graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 26th of 30 of the 30 centre-forwards in the Premiership, on 3 goals and 0 assists in 23 appearances (0.225 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 20 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 25th of 30 of the 30 centre-forwards in the Premiership. At 29 Ayunga is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.2 reflects that trajectory.

3 goals in 23 appearances (0.13 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 33.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.23 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 26, Ayunga carries the 25th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Premiership of 30, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (ST Mirren finished 10th of 12) — 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 work-in-progress on end product (0.23 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
