Output in context · Tranmere finished 21st of 24 · a lower-table side
10 goals in 41 appearances (0.24 per game) is double figures — and for a lower-table side (21st of 24), a real standout. Weaker sides create and score less, so carrying double-figure output there says more than the raw number alone. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 13 goal contributions (0.32 per appearance).
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 71% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Final-third output. 0.4 goal contributions per 90 (0.31 goals, 0.09 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.81 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 33.6, Whitaker carries the 13th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the League Two (top 22%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Tranmere 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. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.4 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
