An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (20% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.94 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cannon.

On the season, Cannon graded 5 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 2.942 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 5 → 4). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

Clean sheets

2.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 20% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 20.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
