Scout report

Squad depthCentre-forward

R. Coughlan is a 30-year-old centre-forward at Fleetwood Town, rated 15.1 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (24.1% of available minutes). He brings 0.36 goal contributions per 90 (0.18 goals, 0.18 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Coughlan.

On the season, Coughlan graded 9 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal and 1 assist in 11 appearances (0.361 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 21 → 9). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 15. At 30 Coughlan is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.8 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Coughlan missed 30 games through injury (achilles tendon problems) out of roughly 46 this season. The 11 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

1 goal in 11 appearances (0.09 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 2 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.36 goal contributions per 90 (0.18 goals, 0.18 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 24.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 15.1 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.36 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
