A. Palmer is a 29-year-old goalkeeper at Ipswich, rated 37.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 401st of 493 in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (24.4% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Palmer.
Judged on this season alone, Palmer graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 44 of the 44 goalkeepers in the Championship, on 3 clean sheets across 10 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 22 → 9). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 37, 30th of 44 of the 44 goalkeepers in the Championship. At 29 Palmer is in his prime years, and a market index of 26.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Palmer missed 8 games through injury (calf) out of roughly 46 this season. The 10 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 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3 clean sheets in 10 appearances (30% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 24) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.
With a Rating of 37.4, Palmer carries the 30th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Championship of 44 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~48), then tapers with age. At 29, Palmer sits on 26.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Palmer's projected Rating — 37.4 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.
