C. Mepham is a 28-year-old central defender at West Brom, rated 45.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 350th of 493 in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (58.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.97 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mepham.
Judged on this season alone, Mepham graded 29 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 36th of 82 of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship, on 7 clean sheets and 2.966 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 42 → 29). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 45, 54th of 82 of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship. At 28 Mepham is in his prime years, and a market index of 34.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Mepham missed 9 games through injury (inactive, hamstring) out of roughly 46 this season. The 25 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.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 25 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 45.4, Mepham carries the 54th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 82, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (West Brom finished 21st 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 (2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 (~58), then tapers with age. At 28, Mepham sits on 34.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Mepham's projected Rating — 45.4 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.
