Curtis Alexander Nelson
Center Back · Milton Keynes Dons · season-by-season, by competition, and every match.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
The record covers 7 seasons (2020/21–2025/26) across 4 clubs — 194 appearances with 10 goal contributions from defence.
His best campaign on record is 2023/24 at Derby — Season rating 61, 2 goals and 0 assists in 46 games. 2023/24 was the leap — Season rating up 31 points at Derby. Form has slipped 49 Season points across his last 3 full seasons. The gap to his peak is 49 Season points.
2025/26 was disrupted — 16 fixtures missed through injury or absence. A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±16 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart. Made the jump to a higher division in 2024/25 (Championship) and kept playing — 27 games that season.
