Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Rathbone.
Judged on this season alone, Rathbone graded 30 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 35th of 65 of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship, on 7 goals, 1 assist and 4.007 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 32 → 30). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, 48th of 65 of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship. At 29 Rathbone is in his prime years, and a market index of 28.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Rathbone missed 6 games through injury (sprained ankle, ankle) out of roughly 46 this season. The 26 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.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (7th 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. Going forward he chipped in 7 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 40.2, Rathbone carries the 48th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Championship of 65. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~52), then tapers with age. At 29, Rathbone sits on 28.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Rathbone's projected Rating — 40.2 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.
