Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Carragher.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 29 → 14).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, top 28% of the 98 centre-backs in the League One. At 23 Carragher is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 9.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Carragher missed 5 games through injury (operation) out of roughly 46 this season. The 25 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 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
