Judged on this season alone, Chambers graded 22 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 37th of 88 of the 88 centre-backs in the League One, on 7 clean sheets and 3.277 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 34 → 22). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 69th of 88 of the 88 centre-backs in the League One. At 31 Chambers is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 24) 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, 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 21.4, Chambers carries the 69th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League One of 88. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
