Scout report
G. Nurse is a 27-year-old central defender at Cheltenham, rated 21.9 overall by Field Insider's model. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (19.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.17 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Nurse.
On the season, Nurse graded 7 for current form (age-blind), on 3 clean sheets and 2.167 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 7 → 7). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 22. At 27 Nurse is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Cheltenham finished 18th of 24 · a lower-table side
2.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (18th 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 19.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 21.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
