Scout report

Squad depthCentre-forward

M. Forss is a 27-year-old centre-forward at Bolton, rated 33.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 308th of 486 on scout potential in the League One. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (18.3% 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 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 66th of 70 of the 70 centre-forwards in the League One, on 2 goals and 0 assists in 18 appearances (0.224 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 4 → 6). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, 40th of 70 of the 70 centre-forwards in the League One. At 27 Forss is in his prime years, and a market index of 7.5 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 18.3% 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.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 33.5, Forss carries the 40th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the League One of 70 — 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.
