On the season, Dumfries graded 26 for current form (age-blind), on 7 clean sheets and 1.492 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 22 → 22). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 43. At 30 Dumfries is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 13.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) 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 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 93/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 38.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.49 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 42.7 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
