K. Palmer is a 29-year-old attacking midfielder at Luton, rated 33.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 308th of 482 in the League One. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (72.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.54 goal contributions per 90 (0.48 goals, 0.06 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Palmer.
Judged on this season alone, Palmer graded 41 — a standout campaign that ranks top 2% of the 73 attacking midfielders in the League One, on 8 goals and 1 assist in 20 appearances (0.538 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 41). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, 55th of 73 of the 73 attacking midfielders in the League One. At 29 Palmer is in his prime years, and a market index of 11.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Palmer missed 10 games through injury (knee) out of roughly 46 this season. The 20 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.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
8 goals in 20 appearances (0.4 per game) for an upper-table side. Add 1 assist for 9 goal contributions in all.
With a Rating of 33.9, Palmer carries the 55th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the League One of 73. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.54 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~21), then tapers with age. At 29, Palmer sits on 11.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Palmer's projected Rating — 33.9 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.
