An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (35.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.21 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Clarkson.
Judged on this season alone, Clarkson graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 47th of 66 of the 66 central midfielders in the League One, on 0 goals, 2 assists and 1.211 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 29 → 13). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, top 26% of the 66 central midfielders in the League One. At 24 Clarkson is in his prime years, and a market index of 9.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Blackpool finished 13th of 24 · a mid-table side
1.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 35.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.21 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 43.1, Clarkson carries the 17th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League One of 66 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
