Scout report

Experienced headCentral midfielder

G. Evans is a 31-year-old central midfielder at Burton Albion, rated 19.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 169th of 213 on scout potential in the League One. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (33.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.08 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Evans.

Judged on this season alone, Evans graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 42 of the 42 central midfielders in the League One, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 2.081 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 29 → 13). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, 32nd of 42 of the 42 central midfielders in the League One. At 31 Evans is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.1 reflects that trajectory.

2.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 8 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 33.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 19.6, Evans carries the 32nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League One of 42 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
