A. Young is a 41-year-old central defender at Ipswich, rated 6.4 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (16.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.31 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Young.
On the season, Young graded 10 for current form (age-blind), on 2 clean sheets and 2.313 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 38 → 10). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 6. At 41 Young is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Young missed 17 games through injury (hip) out of roughly 46 this season. The 13 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.
2.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.
Rated 6.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).

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 (~8), then tapers with age. At 41, Young sits on 2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Young's projected Rating — 6.4 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.
