  • Game time. Only 50.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 49, Elding carries the 2nd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Premiership of 30 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.31 goal contributions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
