4 goals in 11 appearances (0.36 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.37 goal contributions per 90 (0.37 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 46.9% 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 21.3, Langstaff carries the 2nd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the League Two of 32 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.37 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
