All League One standouts →One of the biggest game-time risers in the League One: on the pitch for 100% of Sheffield Wednesday's available minutes this season, up from 4% last year — a bench-to-starter jump the ratings will catch up with at the next checkpoint.
J. Lumley is a 31-year-old goalkeeper at Sheffield Wednesday, rated 20 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 188th of 213 on scout potential in the League One. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (34.8% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lumley.
Judged on this season alone, Lumley graded 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 12th of 23 of the 23 goalkeepers in the League One, on 2 clean sheets across 8 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 7). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, 19th of 23 of the 23 goalkeepers in the League One. At 31 Lumley is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Sheffield Wednesday finished 6th of 24 · an upper-table side
2 clean sheets in 8 appearances (25% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (6th of 24) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 34.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, 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 20, Lumley carries the 19th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the League One of 23 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
