We hold a single season for Montgomery, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 57, 38th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship. At 22 Montgomery is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 69.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Montgomery missed 9 games through injury (injury, ankle, inactive) out of roughly 46 this season. The 21 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.
4.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (20th of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
With a Rating of 57.4, Montgomery carries the 38th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 73 — though on just 21 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~74), then tapers with age. At 22, Montgomery sits on 69.8, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Montgomery's projected Rating — 57.4 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.
