7 goals in 9 appearances (0.78 per game) for a title-challenging side. He also laid on 5 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 12 goal contributions (1.33 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 1.34 goal contributions per 90 (0.78 goals, 0.56 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 38.9% 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 22.3, Tshimanga carries the 15th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the League Two of 32 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (1.34 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
