On long-term talent our Rating reads 11, 56th of 60 of the 60 attacking midfielders in the League Two. At 33 Walker is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.7 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
