Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Williams.
Judged on this season alone, Williams graded 28 — a strong campaign that ranks top 29% of the 7 defensive midfielders in the League Two, on 3 goals, 0 assists and 3.561 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 28). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 3rd of 7 of the 7 defensive midfielders in the League Two. At 25 Williams is in his prime years, and a market index of 5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Crawley Town finished 22nd of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (22nd of 24) 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 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 73.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 30.6, Williams carries the 3rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League Two of 7, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Crawley Town finished 22nd of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
