His defensive output reads 1.63 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on John.
On the season, John graded 19 for current form (age-blind), on 7 clean sheets and 1.63 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 19 → 19). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 23. At 31 John is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · ST Mirren finished 10th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
1.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (10th 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 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 65.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.23 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.63 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 23.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
