On the season, Wilson graded 12 for current form (age-blind), on 3 clean sheets and 2.144 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 27 → 12). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

Clean sheets

2.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 32 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 78.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 15.6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
