An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (52.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.37 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90.

Judged on this season alone, Clifton graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 34th of 66 of the 66 central midfielders in the League One, on 2 goals, 1 assist and 2.371 defensive actions per 90.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 52.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 31.8, Clifton carries the 46th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League One of 66. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
