Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sheehan.
Judged on this season alone, Sheehan graded 31 — a solid campaign that ranks top 32% of the 63 defensive midfielders in the League One, on 3 goals, 4 assists and 2.76 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 29 → 31). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 59th of 63 of the 63 defensive midfielders in the League One. At 31 Sheehan is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7.1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 41 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 3 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 25.6, Sheehan carries the 59th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League One of 63. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

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 (~16), then tapers with age. At 31, Sheehan sits on 7.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Sheehan's projected Rating — 25.6 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.
