Final-third output. 0.75 goal contributions per 90 (0.5 goals, 0.25 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 34.2, Nisbet carries the 4th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Premiership of 7 — 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 (0.75 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~13), then tapers with age. At 29, Nisbet sits on 7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Nisbet's projected Rating — 34.2 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
