Clean sheets

4.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 11 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 4.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Game time. Only 47.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 9, Beckles carries the 55th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League Two of 55 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

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 (~2), then tapers with age. At 35, Beckles sits on 0.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Beckles's projected Rating — 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.
