Scout report
C. Chaplin is a 29-year-old attacking midfielder at Portsmouth, rated 42.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 365th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (62.8% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Chaplin.
Judged on this season alone, Chaplin graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 45th of 69 of the 69 attacking midfielders in the Championship, on 2 goals and 3 assists in 40 appearances (0.19 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 9 → 18). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, 59th of 69 of the 69 attacking midfielders in the Championship. At 29 Chaplin is in his prime years, and a market index of 10.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Chaplin missed 4 games through injury (groin, loan agreement, inactive) out of roughly 46 this season. The 40 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 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Portsmouth finished 18th of 24 · a lower-table side
2 goals in 40 appearances (0.05 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 5 goal contributions (0.13 per appearance).
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 62.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Output. 0.19 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.75 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 42.9, Chaplin carries the 59th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Championship of 69, 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. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.19 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
