Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 94.2/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 31.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.18 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

With a Rating of 66.7, Willock carries the 51st-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premier League of 73. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.18 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.
