D. Finlayson is a 25-year-old full-back at Livingston, rated 45.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 59th of 220 in the Championship. In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (90.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.49 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Finlayson.
Judged on this season alone, Finlayson graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 24th of 41 of the 41 full-backs in the Championship, on 4 clean sheets and 3.485 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 3 → 23).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 45, top 27% of the 41 full-backs in the Championship. At 25 Finlayson is in his prime years, and a market index of 28 reflects that trajectory.
3.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (12th of 12) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 45.2, Finlayson carries the 11th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Championship (top 27%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Livingston finished 12th of 12) — 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 (3.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 (~28), then tapers with age. At 25, Finlayson sits on 28, at or near its peak. The blue line is Finlayson's projected Rating — 45.2 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.
