Scout report

Squad depthFull-back

J. Stacey is a 30-year-old full-back at Norwich, rated 36.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 403rd of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (55.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.75 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Stacey.

Judged on this season alone, Stacey graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 49th of 77 of the 77 full-backs in the Championship, on 4 clean sheets and 3.746 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 19 → 21). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 37, 65th of 77 of the 77 full-backs in the Championship. At 30 Stacey is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 8.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Stacey missed 5 games through injury (concussion) out of roughly 46 this season. The 36 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.

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~17), then tapers with age. At 30, Stacey sits on 8.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Stacey's projected Rating — 36.5 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.
