J. Taylor is a 28-year-old defensive midfielder at Ipswich, rated 48.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 320th of 493 in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (52.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.7 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Taylor.
Judged on this season alone, Taylor graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 39th of 65 of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship, on 2 goals, 2 assists and 2.703 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 13 → 26). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 48, 38th of 65 of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship. At 28 Taylor is in his prime years, and a market index of 13.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 39 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 48.3, Taylor carries the 38th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Championship of 65. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~22), then tapers with age. At 28, Taylor sits on 13.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Taylor's projected Rating — 48.3 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
