M. Cooper is a 26-year-old goalkeeper at Sheffield Utd, rated 64.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 139th of 493 in the Championship. In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (90.5% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cooper.
Judged on this season alone, Cooper graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 19th of 44 of the 44 goalkeepers in the Championship, on 7 clean sheets across 34 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 79 → 15). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 64, top 25% of the 44 goalkeepers in the Championship. At 26 Cooper is in his prime years, and a market index of 82.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Cooper missed 9 games through injury (knee) 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.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
7 clean sheets in 34 appearances (21% of games).
With a Rating of 64.2, Cooper carries the 11th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Championship (top 25%). A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~82), then tapers with age. At 26, Cooper sits on 82.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Cooper's projected Rating — 64.2 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.
