J. Walton is a 28-year-old goalkeeper at Dundee Utd, rated 36.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 63rd of 104 on scout potential in the Premiership. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (81.8% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Walton.

Judged on this season alone, Walton graded 29 — a strong campaign that ranks top 25% of the 12 goalkeepers in the Premiership, on 3 clean sheets across 9 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 3 → 29). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 81.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 36.7, Walton carries the 7th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Premiership of 12 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
