Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

A. Davies is a 34-year-old goalkeeper at Sheffield Utd, rated 19.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 266th of 272 on scout potential in the Championship. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (54.3% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Davies.

Judged on this season alone, Davies graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 20th of 41 of the 41 goalkeepers in the Championship, on 3 clean sheets across 13 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 3 → 12). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, 37th of 41 of the 41 goalkeepers in the Championship. At 34 Davies is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.7 reflects that trajectory.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 54.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 19.5, Davies carries the 37th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Championship of 41 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
