Scout report

Squad depthFull-back

B. Johnson is a 26-year-old full-back at Ipswich, rated 53.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 281st of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (21% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.8 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Johnson.

Judged on this season alone, Johnson graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 62nd of 77 of the 77 full-backs in the Championship, on 4 clean sheets and 2.8 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 12 → 13). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 53, 43rd of 77 of the 77 full-backs in the Championship. At 26 Johnson is in his prime years, and a market index of 24.5 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 17 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 21% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 53.2, Johnson carries the 43rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Championship of 77 — though on just 17 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
