Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 9 → 28). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, top 9% of the 67 central midfielders in the League Two. At 24 Austerfield is in his prime years, and a market index of 10 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Austerfield missed 5 games through injury (ankle) out of roughly 49 this season. The 41 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.
A career still climbing — Austerfield is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
3.19 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 41 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 24) 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 2 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 33.3, Austerfield carries the 6th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League Two (top 9%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.19 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~10), then tapers with age. At 24, Austerfield sits on 10, at or near its peak. The blue line is Austerfield's projected Rating — 33.3 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.
