The profile this season reads like a low‑volume creator: limited minutes but direct outputs when on the pitch[^fact-1][^fact-2][^fact-3]. ## Season form Carey has made 7 appearances and totaled 162 minutes of action this campaign, producing 1 goal and 1 assist across those minutes[^fact-2][^fact-3]. His provider rating sits at 6.60 for the season[^fact-4]. Over the last five matches his underlying numbers show 0.81 xG and 0.30 xA, a signal that shot threat has been the stronger contributor to recent chance creation[^fact-5]. The raw results in that same five‑match slice are 1 goal and 1 assist from 79 minutes, underlining a high per‑minute end product despite restricted playing time[^fact-6]. ## Availability & momentum Minutes are the headline constraint: 162 minutes across seven appearances shows a rotation or substitute role to date rather than a regular starter pattern[^fact-2]. The last match ended in a 0–1 defeat away to Aberdeen, where Carey recorded no goal or assist and was given a 5.71 rating for that outing[^fact-7]. That single low rating sits below his season average but is consistent with a player whose contribution depends on limited, high‑leverage involvement[^fact-4][^fact-7]. The short sample of recent minutes (79 minutes across five games) suggests momentum in output per minute, even if cumulative influence remains small[^fact-6]. ## What to watch Eyes should be on how Livingston deploy Carey next: whether minutes are clustered in late, high‑risk periods or sprinkled as short tactical injections, since his last five‑match profile shows an ability to convert limited time into end product — 0.81 xG and 0.30 xA over that span[^fact-5]. The concrete value pick that presents itself from the numbers is his per‑minute efficiency: 1 goal and 1 assist from 79 minutes in the recent run, implying any increase in minutes materially raises his chance of directly affecting the scoresheet[^fact-6]. Monitor whether the coaching staff extend his role beyond the current 162 minutes across seven appearances; the statistical line suggests a small increase in usage could yield outsized direct returns compared with the raw appearance count[^fact-2][^fact-3]. ### Cited facts [^fact-1]: **Identity** — 37 years old · Republic of Ireland · Midfielder · current club Livingston.
