Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Armstrong.

Judged on this season alone, Armstrong graded 30 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 26th of 44 of the 44 centre-forwards in the Premier League, on 2 goals and 2 assists in 14 appearances (0.314 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 16 → 30). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 53, 39th of 44 of the 44 centre-forwards in the Premier League. At 29 Armstrong is in his prime years, and a market index of 35.2 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

2 goals in 14 appearances (0.14 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 67% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90/100).

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 53.4, Armstrong carries the 39th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Premier League of 44 — though on just 14 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 (0.31 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
