All Championship standouts →One of the biggest game-time risers in the Championship: on the pitch for 100% of Blackburn's available minutes this season, up from 20% last year — a bench-to-starter jump the ratings will catch up with at the next checkpoint.
Kristi Montgomery is a 22-year-old defensive midfielder at Blackburn, rated 56.9 overall by Field Insider's model. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (19.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.09 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Montgomery.
On the season, Montgomery graded 7 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 4.086 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 7 → 7).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 57. At 22 Montgomery is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 24.9 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Blackburn finished 20th of 24 · a lower-table side
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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 19.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 56.9 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. 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.
