Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sweeney.
Judged on this season alone, Sweeney graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 67th of 89 of the 89 centre-backs in the League One, on 5 clean sheets and 2.976 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 14 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 80th of 89 of the 89 centre-backs in the League One. At 32 Sweeney is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 16.6, Sweeney carries the 80th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League One of 89. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).

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 (~10), then tapers with age. At 32, Sweeney sits on 4.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Sweeney's projected Rating — 16.6 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.
