P. Sweeney is a 31-year-old central defender at Exeter City, rated 24.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 386th of 482 in the League One. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (78.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.27 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sweeney.
Judged on this season alone, Sweeney graded 26 — a strong campaign that ranks top 29% of the 89 centre-backs in the League One, on 10 clean sheets and 2.265 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 18 → 26). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 66th of 89 of the 89 centre-backs in the League One. At 31 Sweeney is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 40 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (21st of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 24.3, Sweeney carries the 66th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League One of 89, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Exeter City finished 21st of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× 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 (~15), then tapers with age. At 31, Sweeney sits on 6.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Sweeney's projected Rating — 24.3 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.
