Scout report

Squad depthCentre-forward

N. Ennis is a 27-year-old centre-forward at Blackpool, rated 34.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 60th of 109 on scout potential in the League One. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (28.3% of available minutes). He brings 0.46 goal contributions per 90 (0.46 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ennis.

Judged on this season alone, Ennis graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 6th of 10 of the 10 centre-forwards in the League One, on 6 goals and 0 assists in 26 appearances (0.462 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 20 → 15). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, top 40% of the 10 centre-forwards in the League One. At 27 Ennis is in his prime years, and a market index of 7.7 reflects that trajectory.
