Scout report
I. Williams is a 32-year-old attacking midfielder at Athletic Club, rated 41.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 308th of 389 on scout potential in the La Liga. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (80.3% of available minutes). He brings 0.37 goal contributions per 90 (0.13 goals, 0.25 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Williams.
Judged on this season alone, Williams graded 39 — a strong campaign that ranks top 19% of the 53 attacking midfielders in the La Liga, on 3 goals and 6 assists in 30 appearances (0.374 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 45 → 39). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, 47th of 53 of the 53 attacking midfielders in the La Liga. At 32 Williams is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 17.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Williams missed 8 games through injury (groin, muscle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 30 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
