Clean sheets

2.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 39 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (21st of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 66.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 33.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~24), then tapers with age. At 31, Mowatt sits on 10.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Mowatt's projected Rating — 33.8 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.
