Clean sheets

4.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 39 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 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 84.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Defensive volume. 4.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 40.9, Docherty carries the 14th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Championship of 24, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Charlton 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 solid defensive volume (4.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

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 (~31), then tapers with age. At 30, Docherty sits on 15.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Docherty's projected Rating — 40.9 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.
