Scout report

Experienced headCentral midfielder

J. Wallace is a 32-year-old central midfielder at West Brom, rated 22.3 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (24.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.91 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Wallace.

On the season, Wallace graded 17 for current form (age-blind), on 2 goals, 2 assists and 2.912 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 11 → 11). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 22. At 32 Wallace is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (21st 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 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.35 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 24.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 22.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
