Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

I. Lawlor is a 31-year-old goalkeeper at Crewe, rated 19.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 325th of 478 on scout potential in the League Two. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (95.7% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lawlor.

Judged on this season alone, Lawlor graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 21st of 33 of the 33 goalkeepers in the League Two, on 4 clean sheets across 22 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 6 → 9). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 20th of 33 of the 33 goalkeepers in the League Two. At 31 Lawlor is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.

4 clean sheets in 22 appearances (18% of games).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 95.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

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 19.4, Lawlor carries the 20th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the League Two of 33. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
