B. Bannan is a 36-year-old defensive midfielder at Sheffield Wednesday, rated 22.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 465th of 493 in the Championship. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (75% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.88 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bannan.
Judged on this season alone, Bannan graded 39 — a strong campaign that ranks top 28% of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship, on 3 goals, 4 assists and 2.875 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 45 → 39). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, 60th of 65 of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship. At 36 Bannan is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 8.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 44 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (24th 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 3 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 22.6, Bannan carries the 60th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Championship of 65, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Sheffield Wednesday finished 24th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× 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 (~29), then tapers with age. At 36, Bannan sits on 8.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Bannan's projected Rating — 22.6 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.
