Squad depthCentral defender

J. Worrall is a 29-year-old central defender at Burnley, rated 39.9 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (15.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.79 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Worrall.

On the season, Worrall graded 5 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 2.785 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 6 → 5). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 40. At 29 Worrall is in his prime years, and a market index of 26.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 11 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) 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.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90.5/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 15.5% 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 39.9 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
