GoalPost score (GPS)
GoalPost read
J. Shaffelburg rates limited. He is improving and in his prime, but his value is held down by work in a weaker league and a role that does not secure his place in the side.

Analysis overview
Shaffelburg plays like an inside forward who wants to get beyond the line early, not linger on the ball. He thrives on sharp diagonal runs, quick changes of pace, and arriving in dangerous pockets from wide areas rather than staying chalk-on-the-boots. His game is built on directness, separation, and immediate threat when the space opens up.
