A. Smith is a 35-year-old full-back at Bournemouth, rated 20.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 411th of 418 in the Premier League.

Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Smith.
Judged on this season alone, Smith graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 51st of 64 of the 64 full-backs in the Premier League, on 4 clean sheets and 2.712 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 17 → 19). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 61st of 64 of the 64 full-backs in the Premier League. At 35 Smith is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 12.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Smith missed 4 games through injury (hamstring) out of roughly 38 this season. The 22 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 20.9, Smith carries the 61st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premier League of 64. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~42), then tapers with age. At 35, Smith sits on 12.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Smith's projected Rating — 20.9 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
