2 goals in 10 appearances (0.2 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.22 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 39.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 33.3, Smith carries the 5th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the League Two of 12 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.44 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
