All League One standouts →One of the biggest game-time risers in the League One: on the pitch for 77% of Burton Albion's available minutes this season, up from 12% last year — a bench-to-starter jump the ratings will catch up with at the next checkpoint.
F. Delap is a 21-year-old central defender at Burton Albion, rated 39.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 94th of 213 on scout potential in the League One and 1004th of 1756 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (11.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.17 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Delap.
Judged on this season alone, Delap graded 4 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 31st of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the League One, on 1 clean sheet and 3.174 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 4 → 4).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, 26th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the League One. At 21 Delap is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 8 reflects that trajectory.
Delap is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Burton Albion finished 17th of 24 · a lower-table side
3.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 8 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 11.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 39.8, Delap carries the 26th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League One of 64 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
