0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 1 appearance. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 4) 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.
Rated 72.5 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 18, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~145), then tapers with age. At 18, Walker-Smith sits on 108.8, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Walker-Smith's projected Rating — 72.5 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.
