On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 56th of 67 of the 67 central midfielders in the League Two. At 31 Palmer is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.2 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Palmer is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 16.3, Palmer carries the 56th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League Two of 67. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× 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 (~5), then tapers with age. At 31, Palmer sits on 2.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Palmer's projected Rating — 16.3 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.
