Scout report
J. Maja is a 27-year-old centre-forward at West Brom, rated 48.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 305th of 495 on scout potential in the Championship. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (37.3% of available minutes). He brings 0.29 goal contributions per 90 (0.23 goals, 0.06 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Maja.
Judged on this season alone, Maja graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 50th of 73 of the 73 centre-forwards in the Championship, on 4 goals and 1 assist in 40 appearances (0.291 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 36 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 48, 47th of 73 of the 73 centre-forwards in the Championship. At 27 Maja is in his prime years, and a market index of 22.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Maja missed 3 games through injury (calf) out of roughly 46 this season. The 40 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.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · West Brom finished 21st of 24 · a lower-table side
4 goals in 40 appearances (0.1 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 5 goal contributions in all.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 37.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Output. 0.29 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
Outlook
With a Rating of 48.2, Maja carries the 47th-highest potential of the centre-forwards 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. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.29 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
