Scout report
M. Johnston is a 27-year-old winger at West Brom, rated 54.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 278th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (73.4% of available minutes). He brings 0.43 goal contributions per 90 (0.08 goals, 0.35 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Johnston.
Judged on this season alone, Johnston graded 35 — a strong campaign that ranks top 18% of the 17 wingers in the Championship, on 2 goals and 9 assists in 34 appearances (0.428 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 22 → 35). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 54, 14th of 17 of the 17 wingers in the Championship. At 27 Johnston is in his prime years, and a market index of 26.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Johnston missed 11 games through injury (broken leg, injury) out of roughly 46 this season. The 34 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.
A career still climbing — Johnston is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · West Brom finished 21st of 24 · a lower-table side
2 goals in 34 appearances (0.06 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 9 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 11 goal contributions (0.32 per appearance).
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 73.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Final-third output. 0.43 goal contributions per 90 (0.08 goals, 0.35 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 54.1, Johnston carries the 14th-highest potential of the wingers in the Championship of 17, 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 (0.43 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. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
