Scout report

Key starterCentre-forward

N. Madsen is a 26-year-old centre-forward at QPR, rated 61.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 189th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (79.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.28 goal contributions per 90 (0.09 goals, 0.18 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Madsen.

Judged on this season alone, Madsen graded 29 — a solid campaign that ranks top 38% of the 66 centre-forwards in the Championship, on 3 goals and 6 assists in 38 appearances (0.275 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 24 → 29). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 62, 28th of 66 of the 66 centre-forwards in the Championship. At 26 Madsen is in his prime years, and a market index of 28.3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Madsen missed 5 games through injury (hamstring) out of roughly 46 this season. The 38 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.

3 goals in 38 appearances (0.08 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 6 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 9 goal contributions (0.24 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 79.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Output. 0.28 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

With a Rating of 61.5, Madsen carries the 28th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Championship of 66. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.28 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.
