Output in context · Oxford United finished 22nd of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
11 goals in 44 appearances (0.25 per game) is double figures — and for a relegation-threatened side (22nd of 24), a real standout. Weaker sides create and score less, so carrying double-figure output there says more than the raw number alone. Add 2 assists for 13 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 71.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Final-third output. 0.41 goal contributions per 90 (0.34 goals, 0.06 assists) — productive for the role.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 69.4, Lankshear carries the 7th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Championship (top 11%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Oxford United finished 22nd 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 productive contributor (0.41 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. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
