An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (44.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.29 goal contributions per 90 (0.29 goals, 0 assists).

3 goals in 11 appearances (0.27 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 44.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.29 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 29.5, Evans carries the 16th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the League One of 28 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.29 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
