On the season, Brandon graded 13 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 2.716 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 13). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 32. At 28 Brandon is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Kilmarnock finished 11th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
2.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 9 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.36 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Creativity. 0.36 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 50.2% 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 31.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
