On the season, Palmer graded 6 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 2.98 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 19 → 6). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 7. At 35 Palmer is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.7 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 5 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 24) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 7.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 7.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
