M. Forss is a 27-year-old centre-forward at Bolton, rated 49.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 225th of 272 on scout potential in the Championship. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (38.9% of available minutes). He brings 0.22 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Forss.

Judged on this season alone, Forss graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 17th of 22 of the 22 centre-forwards in the Championship, on 2 goals and 0 assists in 18 appearances (0.224 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 50, 19th of 22 of the 22 centre-forwards in the Championship. At 27 Forss is in his prime years, and a market index of 22.9 reflects that trajectory.

2 goals in 18 appearances (0.11 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 38.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.22 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

With a Rating of 49.8, Forss carries the 19th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Championship of 22 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.22 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.
