Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Astley.
Judged on this season alone, Astley graded 29 — a solid campaign that ranks top 36% of the 34 centre-backs in the Premiership, on 6 clean sheets and 3.586 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 18 → 29). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 48, top 9% of the 34 centre-backs in the Premiership. At 24 Astley is in his prime years, and a market index of 29.6 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Astley is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (9th 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 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 47.7, Astley carries the 3rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premiership (top 9%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Dundee finished 9th 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 solid defensive volume (3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 (~30), then tapers with age. At 24, Astley sits on 29.6, at or near its peak. The blue line is Astley's projected Rating — 47.7 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.
