A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (76.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.97 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Burn.
Judged on this season alone, Burn graded 29 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 34th of 64 of the 64 full-backs in the Premier League, on 5 clean sheets and 2.974 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 50 → 29). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 59th of 64 of the 64 full-backs in the Premier League. At 34 Burn is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 17.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Burn missed 5 games through injury and 1 suspension (chest) out of roughly 38 this season. The 29 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.
