Scout report

Squad depthCentral defender

J. Shackleton is a 26-year-old central defender at Sheffield Utd, rated 45.7 overall by Field Insider's model. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (1% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Shackleton.

On the season, Shackleton graded 0 for current form (age-blind), on 0 clean sheets and 0 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 7 → 0). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 46. At 26 Shackleton is in his prime years, and a market index of 21.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Shackleton missed 29 games through injury (foot) out of roughly 46 this season. The 3 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 1% 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 45.7 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
