Scout report

Experienced headAttacking midfielder

J. Wallace is a 32-year-old attacking midfielder at West Brom, rated 25.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 453rd of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (40.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.35 goal contributions per 90 (0.18 goals, 0.18 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Wallace.

Judged on this season alone, Wallace graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 43rd of 69 of the 69 attacking midfielders in the Championship, on 2 goals and 2 assists in 23 appearances (0.353 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 10 → 18). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 68th of 69 of the 69 attacking midfielders in the Championship. At 32 Wallace is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Wallace missed 18 games through injury (muscle, inactive) out of roughly 46 this season. The 23 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.

Goals / app

2 goals in 23 appearances (0.09 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.35 goal contributions per 90 (0.18 goals, 0.18 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 40.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, 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 25.3, Wallace carries the 68th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Championship of 69, 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. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.35 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
