On the season, Rose graded 5 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 1.899 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 12 → 5). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 12. At 31 Rose is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 3 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 11.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 12 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
