Scout report

Squad depthFull-back

C. Wiley is a 21-year-old full-back at Watford, rated 55.4 overall by Field Insider's model. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (5.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.67 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Wiley.

On the season, Wiley graded 1 for current form (age-blind), on 0 clean sheets and 3.665 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 12 → 1). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 55. At 21 Wiley is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 23 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Wiley missed 11 games through injury (muscle, injured, muscle bruise) out of roughly 46 this season. The 5 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.

Clean sheets

3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 5 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 5.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 55.4 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
