Outlook

With a Rating of 44, Williams carries the 228th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 311 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).

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 (~88), then tapers with age. At 32, Williams sits on 35.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Williams's projected Rating — 44 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.
