Complete forward2026-27 role · from this player’s strongest traits vs forwards

Nisbet is strongest on shot volume, passing threat, ball-winning; carrying is the least dominant part of the profile. Style vs other Aberdeen forwards — not a rating. His archetype is below, from the tested model.

Each spoke = percentile vs Aberdeen forwards (player-seasons 2021–22 to 2025–26, 450+ minutes). Passing, receiving and carrying are threat added (xT); shot volume replaces goals for defenders (too noisy); ball-winning is defensive actions per 90. Hover a spoke label for what it includes.

Not enough yet. 26 duels so far; this needs 34 more before the figure is worth judging. Shown greyed until then.

Won 51.3% in 2024-25 and 36.9% in 2025-26 on a rising duel load. The volume is there — 5.9 contests per 90, top of the striker pool — so this is about winning what he already competes for, not competing more. · set 2026-08-11

Targets are set by hand and dated — nothing here moves them, because a target that shifts with the data is not a target. A figure is only judged against its target once there is enough behind it to mean something; until then the panel says how much more is needed.

Style archetype

Mixed profile

percentile vs 10 Aberdeen seasons

Box Threat54th

Target / Link39th

How well supported: 67%. Clustering the same 9 seasons without our labels puts 67% of them in the group our archetype names would predict. That is a weak match — read the four scores, not the headline label. No position separates cleanly into discrete types (silhouette 0.25); these are continua, and the scores describe position along them.

A percentile, not a success rate: 67th means he did more of it than two thirds of the 10 Aberdeen centre-forward seasons on record. Context, not a league benchmark. Style, not rating: goals, assists and conversion feed none of these scores. Evidence behind it: medium confidence (79) on 450 minutes, 6 of 6 matches with event data.

Shape is the side's starting formation for each match, so a game where Aberdeen changed at half time counts wholly to what they started in — mid-match spells are only recorded for the current season. 2 further shapes fall below 270 minutes (5-3-2, 4-1-3-2) and are left out rather than ranked on noise.
