E. Bristow is a 24-year-old defensive midfielder at Tranmere, rated 27.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 225th of 478 in the League Two. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.18 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bristow.
Judged on this season alone, Bristow graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 57th of 67 of the 67 defensive midfielders in the League Two, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.177 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 10 → 10). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 38th of 67 of the 67 defensive midfielders in the League Two. At 24 Bristow is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (21st of 24) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 27.2, Bristow carries the 38th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League Two of 67, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Tranmere finished 21st of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 (~8), then tapers with age. At 24, Bristow sits on 8.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Bristow's projected Rating — 27.2 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.
