Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.62 goal contributions per 90 (0.51 goals, 0.1 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 42.3% 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 29.1, Woods carries the 11th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the League Two of 32 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.62 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.
