Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 43 → 24). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 65, top 8% of the 53 central midfielders in the Championship. At 23 Stansfield is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 30 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Birmingham finished 4th of 24 · an upper-table side
2.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 44.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 65, Stansfield carries the 4th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 53 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
