N. Freeman is a 30-year-old central midfielder at Shrewsbury, rated 14.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 392nd of 478 in the League Two. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (18% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.9 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Freeman.
Judged on this season alone, Freeman graded 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 62nd of 67 of the 67 central midfielders in the League Two, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 2.895 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 12 → 7). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 59th of 67 of the 67 central midfielders in the League Two. At 30 Freeman is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (19th of 24) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 14.2, Freeman carries the 59th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League Two of 67 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~4), then tapers with age. At 30, Freeman sits on 2.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Freeman's projected Rating — 14.2 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.
