Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 35). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, 60th of 66 of the 66 centre-forwards in the Championship. At 32 Bamford is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 8.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.64 goal contributions per 90 (0.59 goals, 0.05 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 46.2% 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 27.6, Bamford carries the 60th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Championship of 66. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.64 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
