Scout report

Experienced headBall-winning Defensive midfielder

J. Lundstram is a 32-year-old defensive midfielder at Hull City, rated 26.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 450th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (48.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.72 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lundstram.

Judged on this season alone, Lundstram graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 42nd of 65 of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 4.725 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 30 → 24). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 57th of 65 of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship. At 32 Lundstram is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7.3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Lundstram missed 12 games through injury and 1 suspension (calf, injury, inactive) out of roughly 49 this season. The 32 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.

Clean sheets

4.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.2% 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

With a Rating of 26.2, Lundstram carries the 57th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Championship of 65. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
