C. Shaughnessy is a 30-year-old central defender at Portsmouth, rated 36.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 404th of 493 in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (55.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.37 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Shaughnessy.
Judged on this season alone, Shaughnessy graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 51st of 82 of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship, on 3 clean sheets and 3.374 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 23). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, 65th of 82 of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship. At 30 Shaughnessy is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 23.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Shaughnessy missed 25 games through injury (hamstring, thigh) out of roughly 46 this season. The 19 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.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 19 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 36.4, Shaughnessy carries the 65th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 82, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Portsmouth 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 (3.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× 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 (~47), then tapers with age. At 30, Shaughnessy sits on 23.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Shaughnessy's projected Rating — 36.4 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.
