Squad depthBall-winning Central midfielder

Harry Whitwell is a 20-year-old central midfielder at West Brom, rated 68.3 overall by Field Insider's model. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (25.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.15 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Whitwell.

On the season, Whitwell graded 19 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal, 1 assist and 4.154 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 19). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 68. At 20 Whitwell is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 26.8 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 9 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.35 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 25.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 68.3 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
