M. Pack is a 35-year-old defensive midfielder at Portsmouth, rated 19.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 471st of 493 in the Championship. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (56.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.77 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pack.
Judged on this season alone, Pack graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 48th of 65 of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship, on 2 goals, 0 assists and 1.772 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 25 → 19). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 62nd of 65 of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship. At 35 Pack is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Pack missed 3 games through injury (injured, yellow cards) out of roughly 46 this season. The 34 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
1.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (18th 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 19.1, Pack carries the 62nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Championship of 65, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Portsmouth finished 18th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

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 (~24), then tapers with age. At 35, Pack sits on 7.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Pack's projected Rating — 19.1 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.
