Squad depthAttacking midfielder

Z. Bradshaw is a 23-year-old attacking midfielder at Cambridge United, rated 47.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 154th of 213 on scout potential in the League One. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (33.6% of available minutes). He brings 0.39 goal contributions per 90 (0.26 goals, 0.13 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bradshaw.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 3 → 15). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.39 goal contributions per 90 (0.26 goals, 0.13 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 33.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 47.3, Bradshaw carries the 11th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the League One of 11 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.39 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
