Scout report
Sam Morsy is a 35-year-old defensive midfielder at Blackburn, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 1 assists in 11 appearances, a Season grade of 18, top 54% of Championship defensive midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 17.1, ranking 265th of 272 in the Championship. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (38.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.69 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Morsy.
Judged on this season alone, Morsy graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 13th of 24 of the 24 defensive midfielders in the Championship, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.689 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 12 → 18). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 24th of 24 of the 24 defensive midfielders in the Championship. At 35 Morsy is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Blackburn finished 10th of 24 · a mid-table side
3.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 38.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 35, 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 17.1, Morsy carries the 24th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Championship of 24 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
