Scout report

Squad depthCentre-forward

M. Malone is a 25-year-old centre-forward at Sturm Graz, rated 42.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 64th of 207 on scout potential in the Bundesliga. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (54.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.23 goal contributions per 90 (0.17 goals, 0.06 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Malone.

Judged on this season alone, Malone graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 22nd of 33 of the 33 centre-forwards in the Bundesliga, on 3 goals and 1 assist in 28 appearances (0.229 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 9 → 17). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, top 25% of the 33 centre-forwards in the Bundesliga. At 25 Malone is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.3 reflects that trajectory.

3 goals in 28 appearances (0.11 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 4 goal contributions in all.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 54.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.23 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 42.8, Malone carries the 8th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Bundesliga (top 25%). In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.23 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
