Scout report
C. Johnston is a 24-year-old central midfielder at Peterborough, rated 38.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 73rd of 213 on scout potential in the League One. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.25 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 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 39th of 42 of the 42 central midfielders in the League One, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.246 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 17 → 7). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 39, top 24% of the 42 central midfielders in the League One. At 24 Johnston is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.7 reflects that trajectory.
Johnston is operating at his career peak — the 2023/24 level is the level.
Output in context · Peterborough finished 21st of 24 · a lower-table side
3.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 7 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (21st 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 29.5% 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 38.9, Johnston carries the 10th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League One of 42 — though on just 7 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
