Scout report
C. Wood is a 34-year-old centre-forward at Nottingham Forest, enjoying a standout season — 3 goals and 0 assists in 15 appearances, a Season grade of 26, top 68% of Premier League centre-forwards. On long-term scout potential he's rated 23.8, ranking 368th of 376 in the Premier League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (53% of available minutes). He brings 0.3 goal contributions per 90 (0.3 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Wood.
Judged on this season alone, Wood graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 30th of 44 of the 44 centre-forwards in the Premier League, on 3 goals and 0 assists in 15 appearances (0.298 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 75 → 26). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 43rd of 44 of the 44 centre-forwards in the Premier League. At 34 Wood is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 14.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Wood missed 20 games through injury (knee, lacking match fitness) out of roughly 38 this season. The 15 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Nottingham Forest finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
3 goals in 15 appearances (0.2 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.
Strengths
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.1/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 53% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Output. 0.3 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
- Age curve. At 34, 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 23.8, Wood carries the 43rd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Premier League of 44, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Nottingham Forest finished 16th of 20) — 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 work-in-progress on end product (0.3 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
