Scout report
M. Edwards is a 27-year-old central midfielder at Burnley, rated 43.7 overall by Field Insider's model. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (15.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.91 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Edwards.
On the season, Edwards graded 9 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal, 0 assists and 1.909 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 14 → 9). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 44. At 27 Edwards is in his prime years, and a market index of 20.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Burnley finished 22nd of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
1.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 7 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (22nd 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 15.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 43.7 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.91 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.
