Squad depthCentre-forward

R. Jones is a 25-year-old centre-forward at FC St. Pauli, rated 64.2 overall by Field Insider's model. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (22.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.52 goal contributions per 90 (0.52 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Jones.

On the season, Jones graded 16 for current form (age-blind), on 2 goals and 0 assists in 9 appearances (0.516 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 35 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 64. At 25 Jones is in his prime years, and a market index of 38.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Jones missed 20 games through injury (ankle, shoulder, injury) out of roughly 34 this season. The 9 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.

Goals / app

2 goals in 9 appearances (0.22 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.52 goal contributions per 90 (0.52 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 22.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 64.2 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.52 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
