On long-term scout potential he's rated 23.7, ranking 388th of 481 in the League One. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (64.3% of available minutes).

Judged on this season alone, Evans graded 29 — a solid campaign that ranks top 39% of the 63 defensive midfielders in the League One, on 2 goals, 4 assists and 2.671 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 29). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 58th of 63 of the 63 defensive 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 4 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Evans is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Burton Albion finished 17th of 24 · a lower-table side
2.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 33 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 64.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- 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 23.7, Evans carries the 58th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League One of 63, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Burton Albion finished 17th 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 (2.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
