A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (13.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.3 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Turton.

On the season, Turton graded 6 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 3.297 defensive actions per 90.

Clean sheets

3.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 5 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 13.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 7.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
