On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 82nd of 89 of the 89 centre-backs in the League One. At 33 Williams is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Williams missed 4 games through injury (hamstring, foot) out of roughly 46 this season. The 24 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 15.3, Williams carries the 82nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League One of 89. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× 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 33, Williams sits on 3.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Williams's projected Rating — 15.3 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.
