Scout report
I. Williams is a 32-year-old central midfielder at Athletic Club, rated 37 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (63.4% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Williams.
On the season, Williams graded 36 for current form (age-blind), on 3 goals, 6 assists and 0.913 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 31 → 31). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 37. At 32 Williams is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 15.9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
