Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

D. Bentley is a 33-year-old goalkeeper at Wolves, rated 15.8 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (10% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bentley.

On the season, Bentley graded 0 for current form (age-blind), on 0 clean sheets across 3 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 0 → 0). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 16. At 33 Bentley is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Bentley missed 8 games through injury (ankle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 3 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.

0 clean sheets in 3 appearances (0% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (20th of 20) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 10% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 15.8 overall — below regular-starter level. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
