Omar Bugiel is a 32-year-old centre-forward at AFC Wimbledon, enjoying a standout season — 5 goals and 4 assists in 39 appearances, a Season grade of 21, top 53% of League One centre-forwards. On long-term scout potential he's rated 18.8, ranking 424th of 481 in the League One. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (48.6% of available minutes). He brings 0.4 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.18 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bugiel.

Judged on this season alone, Bugiel graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 60 of the 60 centre-forwards in the League One, on 5 goals and 4 assists in 39 appearances (0.402 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 16 → 21). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 46th of 60 of the 60 centre-forwards in the League One. At 32 Bugiel is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.8 reflects that trajectory.

G+A

Goals / app

5 goals in 39 appearances (0.13 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 9 goal contributions (0.23 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.4 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.18 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 18.8, Bugiel carries the 46th-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 productive contributor (0.4 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
