Watch points

Output. 0.19 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 16.9, Hoskins carries the 55th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the League One of 70, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Northampton finished 24th 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 work-in-progress on end product (0.19 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~6), then tapers with age. At 33, Hoskins sits on 2.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Hoskins's projected Rating — 16.9 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.
