Project playerAttacking midfielder

L. Smith is a 26-year-old attacking midfielder at Livingston, rated 39.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 57th of 104 on scout potential in the Premiership. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (60.1% of available minutes). He brings 0.39 goal contributions per 90 (0.31 goals, 0.09 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Smith.

Judged on this season alone, Smith graded 27 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 4th of 5 of the 5 attacking midfielders in the Premiership, on 7 goals and 2 assists in 35 appearances (0.394 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 27 → 27). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, 4th of 5 of the 5 attacking midfielders in the Premiership. At 26 Smith is in his prime years, and a market index of 10.2 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

7 goals in 35 appearances (0.2 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side. Add 2 assists for 9 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 60.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.39 goal contributions per 90 (0.31 goals, 0.09 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 39.7, Smith carries the 4th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premiership of 5, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Livingston finished 12th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.39 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.
