Z. Ashworth is a 23-year-old attacking midfielder at Blackpool, rated 42.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 167th of 481 on scout potential in the League One. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (42.8% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ashworth.

Judged on this season alone, Ashworth graded 5 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 68th of 73 of the 73 attacking midfielders in the League One, on 1 goal and 0 assists in 28 appearances (0.051 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 7 → 5). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

Goals / app

1 goal in 28 appearances (0.04 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 42.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.05 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 42.8, Ashworth carries the 38th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the League One of 73. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.05 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
