8 goals in 10 appearances (0.8 per game) for a title-challenging side. Add 1 assist for 9 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.93 goal contributions per 90 (0.83 goals, 0.1 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 42% 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 27.1, Wootton carries the 12th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the League One of 28 — 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 (0.93 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
