Scout report
S. Botman is a 26-year-old central defender at Newcastle, rated 73.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 185th of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (68.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.66 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. 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 35th of 64 of the 64 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 40% of the 64 centre-backs in the Premier League. At 26 Botman is in his prime years, and a market index of 88.7 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.
