Clean sheets

3.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 90.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90.5/100).

Watch points

Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 31 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 36, Walker sits on 16, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Walker's projected Rating — 31 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.
