Scout report
M. Power is a 33-year-old central midfielder at Wigan, enjoying a standout season — 1 goals and 1 assists in 8 appearances, a Season grade of 17, top 33% of League One central midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 13.1, ranking 171st of 213 in the League One. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (34.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.25 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Power.
Judged on this season alone, Power graded 17 — a solid campaign that ranks top 34% of the 42 central midfielders in the League One, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 2.25 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 31 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 33rd of 42 of the 42 central midfielders in the League One. At 33 Power is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Wigan finished 24th of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
2.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 8 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (24th of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 34.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, 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 13.1, Power carries the 33rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League One of 42 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
