On the season, James graded 30 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal, 2 assists and 3.339 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 31 → 30). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 22. At 34 James is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 8.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: James missed 7 games through injury (inactive, toe, injury) out of roughly 46 this season. The 37 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.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (7th 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Rated 21.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.34 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 (~28), then tapers with age. At 34, James sits on 8.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is James's projected Rating — 21.5 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.
