Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Charles.
Judged on this season alone, Charles graded 45 — a strong campaign that ranks top 16% of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship, on 4 goals, 2 assists and 3.706 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 50 → 45). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 75, top 2% of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship. At 22 Charles is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 91 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Charles missed 14 games through injury (hamstring, injury) out of roughly 48 this season. The 33 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 74.8, Charles carries the 1st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Championship (top 2%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~96), then tapers with age. At 22, Charles sits on 91, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Charles's projected Rating — 74.8 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.
