Judged on this season alone, Kilman graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 54th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the Premier League, on 3 clean sheets and 2.818 defensive actions per 90.

Clean sheets

2.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 20) 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.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91.1/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 45.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 47.1, Kilman carries the 54th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 64, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (West Ham finished 18th of 20) — 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 moderate defensive volume (2.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
