Goals / app

4 goals in 33 appearances (0.12 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 8 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 12 goal contributions (0.36 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.45 goal contributions per 90 (0.15 goals, 0.3 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 57.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 46.9, O'Neill carries the 17th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the League One (top 24%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Leyton Orient finished 20th 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 (0.45 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
