Scout report

Squad depthGoalkeeper

J. Whitworth is a 22-year-old goalkeeper at Wigan, rated 39.9 overall by Field Insider's model. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (26.1% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Whitworth.

On the season, Whitworth graded 3 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet across 6 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 22 → 3). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 40. At 22 Whitworth is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 8.5 reflects that trajectory.

1 clean sheet in 6 appearances (17% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (24th of 24) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 26.1% 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. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
