Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lewis.
Judged on this season alone, Lewis graded 5 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 76th of 77 of the 77 full-backs in the Championship, on 1 clean sheet and 2.98 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 4 → 5). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, 60th of 77 of the 77 full-backs in the Championship. At 28 Lewis is in his prime years, and a market index of 31 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Lewis missed 7 games through injury (injury, knee) out of roughly 46 this season. The 14 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.
2.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 14 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 40.3, Lewis carries the 60th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Championship of 77 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~52), then tapers with age. At 28, Lewis sits on 31, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Lewis's projected Rating — 40.3 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.
