Squad depthGoalkeeper

J. Cumming is a 27-year-old goalkeeper at Oxford United, rated 31.6 overall by Field Insider's model. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (13.5% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cumming.

On the season, Cumming graded 5 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet across 4 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 11 → 5). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 32. At 27 Cumming is in his prime years, and a market index of 7.1 reflects that trajectory.

1 clean sheet in 4 appearances (25% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (7th of 24) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 13.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 31.6 overall — below regular-starter level. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
