M. Johnston is a 27-year-old winger at West Brom, rated 54.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 279th of 493 in the Championship. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (73.4% of available minutes). He brings 0.43 goal contributions per 90 (0.08 goals, 0.35 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Johnston.
Judged on this season alone, Johnston graded 34 — a strong campaign that ranks top 18% of the 17 wingers in the Championship, on 2 goals and 9 assists in 34 appearances (0.428 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 21 → 34). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 54, 14th of 17 of the 17 wingers in the Championship. At 27 Johnston is in his prime years, and a market index of 69.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Johnston missed 11 games through injury (broken leg, injury) out of roughly 46 this season. The 34 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.
Johnston is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
2 goals in 34 appearances (0.06 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 9 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 11 goal contributions (0.32 per appearance).
With a Rating of 54.1, Johnston carries the 14th-highest potential of the wingers in the Championship of 17, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (West Brom finished 21st of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.43 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. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~69), then tapers with age. At 27, Johnston sits on 69.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Johnston's projected Rating — 54.1 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
