7 clean sheets in 31 appearances (23% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (23rd of 24) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 67.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

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 22.7, Dawson carries the 27th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the League One of 36, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Rotherham finished 23rd of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A a regular starter keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~5), then tapers with age. At 31, Dawson sits on 2.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Dawson's projected Rating — 22.7 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.
