G. Docherty is a 29-year-old central midfielder at Charlton, rated 43.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 363rd of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (72.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.02 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Docherty.

Judged on this season alone, Docherty graded 37 — a strong campaign that ranks top 24% of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship, on 1 goal, 3 assists and 4.023 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 33 → 37). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, 59th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship. At 29 Docherty is in his prime years, and a market index of 15.7 reflects that trajectory.

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 (19th 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 72.9% 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 43.2, Docherty carries the 59th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 73, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Charlton finished 19th 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 (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
