Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Holmes.
On the season, Holmes graded 10 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal, 0 assists and 2.491 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 10 → 10). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 16. At 31 Holmes is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Holmes missed 7 games through injury (lower-body, broken leg) out of roughly 34 this season. The 19 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 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th of 15) 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Rated 16.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~9), then tapers with age. At 31, Holmes sits on 3.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Holmes's projected Rating — 16.3 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.
