Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

B. Amos is a 36-year-old goalkeeper at Port Vale, rated 8.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 481st of 481 on scout potential in the League One. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (17.9% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Amos.

Judged on this season alone, Amos graded 5 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 30th of 35 of the 35 goalkeepers in the League One, on 2 clean sheets across 7 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 22 → 5). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 8, 35th of 35 of the 35 goalkeepers in the League One. At 36 Amos is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Amos missed 7 games through injury (muscle bruise) out of roughly 46 this season. The 7 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.

2 clean sheets in 7 appearances (29% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (22nd of 24) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 17.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 8.2, Amos carries the 35th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the League One of 35 — though on just 7 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
