Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ajayi.
Judged on this season alone, Ajayi graded 32 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 33rd of 82 of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship, on 6 clean sheets and 3.555 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 11 → 32). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 70th of 82 of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship. At 32 Ajayi is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 8.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Ajayi missed 16 games through injury (hamstring, international duty, injured) out of roughly 49 this season. The 24 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 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 28.9, Ajayi carries the 70th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 82. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
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 (~22), then tapers with age. At 32, Ajayi sits on 8.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Ajayi's projected Rating — 28.9 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.
