Judged on this season alone, Wilmot graded 27 — a solid campaign that ranks top 37% of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship, on 9 clean sheets and 2.163 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 42 → 27). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 59, top 29% of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship. At 26 Wilmot is in his prime years, and a market index of 27.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Wilmot missed 10 games through injury (calf, injury) out of roughly 46 this season. The 34 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.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Stoke City finished 17th of 24 · a lower-table side
2.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 34 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. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 71.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 59, Wilmot carries the 23rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship (top 29%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Stoke City finished 17th 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 (2.16 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. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
