Clean sheets

3.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 9 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 14) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.74 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Outlook

Rated 10.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 22–27 (~1), then tapers with age. At 30, Knowles sits on 0.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Knowles's projected Rating — 10.1 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
