On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 51st of 59 of the 59 central midfielders in the USL Championship. At 31 Williams is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, 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 13.6, Williams carries the 51st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the USL Championship of 59 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
