Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Burner.
On the season, Burner graded 7 for current form (age-blind), on 2 clean sheets and 1.964 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 12 → 7). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 15. At 30 Burner is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.

Watch points
- Game time. Only 17.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 14.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
