Scout report
S. Bennett is a 35-year-old central defender at Cheltenham, rated 5.3 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (12.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.85 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bennett.
On the season, Bennett graded 4 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 3.852 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 19 → 4). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 5. At 35 Bennett is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Cheltenham finished 18th of 24 · a lower-table side
3.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 6 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (18th of 24) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 12.4% 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
Rated 5.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
