Clean sheets

3.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 11 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.

Strengths

Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

Game time. Only 28.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 67.7 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

Market valueRating

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 (~41), then tapers with age. At 20, Simpson-Pusey sits on 34.4, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Simpson-Pusey's projected Rating — 67.7 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.
