Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 12 → 15). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

Clean sheets

4.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 8 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 4.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 31.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 32.1, Faulkner carries the 12th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League Two of 40 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
