Scout report

Experienced headCentre-forward

P. Mullin is a 31-year-old centre-forward at Wigan, rated 18.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 429th of 481 on scout potential in the League One. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23.1% of available minutes). He brings 0.47 goal contributions per 90 (0.38 goals, 0.09 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mullin.

Judged on this season alone, Mullin graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 49th of 60 of the 60 centre-forwards in the League One, on 4 goals and 1 assist in 29 appearances (0.47 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 9 → 12). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 48th of 60 of the 60 centre-forwards in the League One. At 31 Mullin is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

4 goals in 29 appearances (0.14 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 5 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.47 goal contributions per 90 (0.38 goals, 0.09 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 23.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, 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 18.4, Mullin carries the 48th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the League One of 60. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.47 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
