Squad depthAttacking midfielder

J. Martin is a 24-year-old attacking midfielder at Cheltenham, rated 28.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 205th of 478 on scout potential in the League Two. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (18.3% of available minutes). He brings 0.48 goal contributions per 90 (0.48 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Martin.

Judged on this season alone, Martin graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 52nd of 60 of the 60 attacking midfielders in the League Two, on 4 goals and 0 assists in 27 appearances (0.475 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 9). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, 33rd of 60 of the 60 attacking midfielders in the League Two. At 24 Martin is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.1 reflects that trajectory.

4 goals in 27 appearances (0.15 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.48 goal contributions per 90 (0.48 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 18.3% 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 28.4, Martin carries the 33rd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the League Two of 60 — though on just 27 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.48 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
