Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Arfield.
Judged on this season alone, Arfield graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 38th of 40 of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Championship, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 2.171 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 1 → 9). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 6, 40th of 40 of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Championship. At 37 Arfield is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 23 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 5.5, Arfield carries the 40th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Championship of 40 — though on just 23 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).

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 (~3), then tapers with age. At 37, Arfield sits on 0.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Arfield's projected Rating — 5.5 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.
