Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Finley.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 19 → 9). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 6. At 34 Finley is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Tranmere finished 13th of 24 · a mid-table side
6.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 9 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Creativity. 0.31 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
- Defensive volume. 6.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 14.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 5.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (6.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
