Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gordon.
Judged on this season alone, Gordon graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 22nd of 33 of the 33 centre-backs in the Championship, on 5 clean sheets and 2.151 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 19 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, 28th of 33 of the 33 centre-backs in the Championship. At 30 Gordon is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 12) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 22.5, Gordon carries the 28th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 33. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~14), then tapers with age. At 30, Gordon sits on 7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Gordon's projected Rating — 22.5 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.
