The profile on paper is of a goal-focused forward: season figures show heavy minutes and a clear finishing output while creative output is negligible[^fact-2][^fact-3]. ## Season form Across the season Griffiths logged 35 appearances and 2,521 minutes on the pitch, a volume that underlines a front-line role[^fact-2]. That time produced 23 goals and zero assists, a pure goalscorer’s return rather than a creator[^fact-3]. Provider metrics, however, register an average rating of 0.00 for the season, signalling a disconnect between the raw goal total and whatever underlying provider index this dataset uses[^fact-4]. In the last five matches the attacking centre of gravity has been modest from a chance-creation standpoint, with 0.30 expected assists recorded across that sample[^fact-5]. ## Availability & momentum Recent workrate is measurable: in the last five appearances Griffiths has 1 goal, 0 assists and has been on the pitch for 298 minutes, indicating consistent selection and significant minutes in that mini-run[^fact-6]. The immediate game was a goalless draw away at St. Johnstone in which Griffiths recorded 0 goals, 0 assists and a match rating of 6.83[^fact-7]. That single-match snapshot ties into the broader pattern — still trusted for long spells, but with output more sporadic than season totals might suggest[^fact-2][^fact-6][^fact-7]. ## What to watch The obvious lens for the next fixture is minutes and finishing chances: Griffiths has been playing substantial minutes lately and remains the primary goal outlet when on the field[^fact-2][^fact-6]. Shot volume and first-touch chances will be decisive; creation models show low expected assists in the short term, so the practical edge comes from positioning and finishing rather than from chance creation[^fact-5][^fact-3]. Given the recent run — 1 goal in five and steady minutes — the immediate value signals are around match-time involvement and occasional finishing bursts rather than consistent assist or xA-driven returns[^fact-6][^fact-5]. Monitor selection and minutes as the principal indicators before projecting output into the next fixture[^fact-2][^fact-6]. ### Cited facts [^fact-1]: **Identity** — 35 years old · Scotland · Attacker · current club Dundee.
