Watch points

  • Game time. Only 28.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 32.8, Dickson carries the 1st-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the League Two of 32 — though on just 24 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.43 goal contributions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
