Scout report
C. Johnston is a 24-year-old central defender at Peterborough, rated 42.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 167th of 481 on scout potential in the League One. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (51.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.31 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Johnston.
Judged on this season alone, Johnston graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 57th of 88 of the 88 centre-backs in the League One, on 5 clean sheets and 3.306 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 16 → 18). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, top 25% of the 88 centre-backs in the League One. At 24 Johnston is in his prime years, and a market index of 9.6 reflects that trajectory.
Johnston is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Peterborough finished 18th of 24 · a lower-table side
3.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (18th of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 51.3% 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 42.8, Johnston carries the 22nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League One (top 25%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Peterborough finished 18th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
