3 goals in 24 appearances (0.13 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.43 goal contributions per 90 (0.43 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 14.4% 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 31.4, Dickson carries the 1st-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the League Two of 20 — 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.
