Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Scales.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 42 → 40). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, top 39% of the 34 centre-backs in the Premiership. At 27 Scales is in his prime years, and a market index of 26.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 42.5, Scales carries the 13th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premiership (top 39%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
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 (~26), then tapers with age. At 27, Scales sits on 26.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Scales's projected Rating — 42.5 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.
