Scout report
L. Lindsay is a 31-year-old central defender at Preston, rated 22.8 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (18.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.53 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lindsay.
On the season, Lindsay graded 3 for current form (age-blind), on 0 clean sheets and 2.532 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 17 → 3). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 23. At 31 Lindsay is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.7 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 · Preston finished 24th of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
2.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 5 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (24th 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 18.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 22.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
