We hold a single season for O'Shea, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 5. At 37 O'Shea is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.1 reflects that trajectory.
2.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (11th of 12) 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Rated 4.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
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 22–27 (~1), then tapers with age. At 37, O'Shea sits on 0.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is O'Shea's projected Rating — 4.8 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.
