Scout report

Experienced headCentral midfielder

A. Mowatt is a 31-year-old central midfielder at West Brom, rated 33.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 414th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (68.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.63 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mowatt.

Judged on this season alone, Mowatt graded 32 — a solid campaign that ranks top 31% of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship, on 1 goal, 4 assists and 2.631 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 49 → 32). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, 64th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship. At 31 Mowatt is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 11 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 39 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (21st of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 68.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 33.9, Mowatt carries the 64th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 73, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (West Brom finished 21st of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
