Scout report

Experienced headAttacking midfielder

S. May is a 33-year-old attacking midfielder at Livingston, rated 14.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 214th of 225 on scout potential in the Premiership. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (55.8% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on May.

Judged on this season alone, May graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 21st of 40 of the 40 attacking midfielders in the Premiership, on 2 goals and 2 assists in 34 appearances (0.188 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 14). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 38th of 40 of the 40 attacking midfielders in the Premiership. At 33 May is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.8 reflects that trajectory.

2 goals in 34 appearances (0.06 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 55.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.19 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Age curve. At 33, 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 14.6, May carries the 38th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premiership of 40, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Livingston finished 12th of 12) — 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 work-in-progress on end product (0.19 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
