Scout report

Squad depthGoal-getting Centre-forward

M. Stevens is a 28-year-old centre-forward at AFC Wimbledon, rated 32.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 320th of 481 on scout potential in the League One. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (37.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.63 goal contributions per 90 (0.52 goals, 0.12 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Stevens.

Judged on this season alone, Stevens graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 60 of the 60 centre-forwards in the League One, on 9 goals and 2 assists in 28 appearances (0.634 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 40 → 24). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, 37th of 60 of the 60 centre-forwards in the League One. At 28 Stevens is in his prime years, and a market index of 5.4 reflects that trajectory.

G+A

Goals / app

9 goals in 28 appearances (0.32 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side. Add 2 assists for 11 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.63 goal contributions per 90 (0.52 goals, 0.12 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 37.7% 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 32.2, Stevens carries the 37th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the League One of 60, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (AFC Wimbledon finished 19th 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 genuine goal threat (0.63 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
