Judged on this season alone, Fitzsimons graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 22nd of 35 of the 35 goalkeepers in the League One, on 6 clean sheets across 26 appearances.
We hold a single season for Fitzsimons, 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 19, 30th of 35 of the 35 goalkeepers in the League One. At 32 Fitzsimons is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.7 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Northampton finished 24th of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
6 clean sheets in 26 appearances (23% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (24th of 24) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 56.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 32, 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 18.5, Fitzsimons carries the 30th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the League One of 35, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Northampton finished 24th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
