Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on James.
Judged on this season alone, James graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 33 of the 33 full-backs in the First League, on 2 clean sheets and 2 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for James, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 16th of 33 of the 33 full-backs in the First League. At 23 James is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 3.3 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Montana finished 16th of 16 · a relegation-threatened side
2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 16) 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 18.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 28.5, James carries the 16th-highest potential of the full-backs in the First League of 33 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
