Experienced headGoalkeeper

D. Richards is a 32-year-old goalkeeper at Dundee Utd, rated 24.9 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (96.2% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Richards.

On the season, Richards graded 10 for current form (age-blind), on 3 clean sheets across 17 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 10). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 25. At 32 Richards is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.2 reflects that trajectory.

3 clean sheets in 17 appearances (18% of games).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 96.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 24.9 overall — below regular-starter level. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
