Scout report

On the season, Gilchrist graded 8 for current form (age-blind), on 2 clean sheets and 3.493 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 8 → 8). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 56. At 22 Gilchrist is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 24.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · West Brom finished 21st of 24 · a lower-table side
3.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 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.
Strengths
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 16.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 56 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
