12 clean sheets in 37 appearances (32% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (15th of 20) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 97.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.6/100).

Watch points

Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 60.8, Henderson carries the 11th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Premier League of 26, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Crystal Palace finished 15th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~76), then tapers with age. At 29, Henderson sits on 41.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Henderson's projected Rating — 60.8 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.
