Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 54 → 35). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 59th of 66 of the 66 centre-forwards in the Championship. At 32 Ducksch is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Ducksch missed 6 games through injury (calf, injury) out of roughly 46 this season. The 33 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Birmingham finished 10th of 24 · a mid-table side
10 goals in 33 appearances (0.3 per game) — double figures playing for a mid-table side (10th of 24). Add 1 assist for 11 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.5 goal contributions per 90 (0.46 goals, 0.05 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 54.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 29.3, Ducksch carries the 59th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Championship of 66. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.5 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
