Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Botman.
Judged on this season alone, Botman graded 29 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 36th of 81 of the 81 centre-backs in the Premier League, on 4 clean sheets and 3.655 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 11 → 29). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 74, top 38% of the 81 centre-backs in the Premier League. At 26 Botman is in his prime years, and a market index of 147.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Botman missed 8 games through injury (lower back, injured doubtful) out of roughly 38 this season. The 25 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 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 73.9, Botman carries the 30th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League (top 38%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~148), then tapers with age. At 26, Botman sits on 147.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Botman's projected Rating — 73.9 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.
