J. Powell is a 28-year-old attacking midfielder at Salford City, rated 23.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 12th of 254 on scout potential in the League Two. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.71 goal contributions per 90 (0.43 goals, 0.28 assists).

Goals / app

3 goals in 8 appearances (0.38 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 5 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.71 goal contributions per 90 (0.43 goals, 0.28 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 23.7, Powell carries the 1st-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the League Two of 12 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.71 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
