Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on King.
Judged on this season alone, King graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 12th of 19 of the 19 centre-backs in the Premiership, on 6 clean sheets and 2.894 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for King, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, top 16% of the 19 centre-backs in the Premiership. At 24 King is in his prime years, and a market index of 9.6 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · ST Mirren finished 10th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
2.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (10th of 12) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 55.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 42.9, King carries the 3rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premiership (top 16%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (ST Mirren finished 10th of 12) — 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 (2.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
