Clean sheets

1.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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 3 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Game time. Only 52.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Defensive numbers. Modest 1.07 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 31.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~7), then tapers with age. At 25, Darcy sits on 3.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Darcy's projected Rating — 31.9 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.
