Scout report
S. Sprangler is a 31-year-old defensive midfielder at Walsall, rated 14.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 200th of 254 on scout potential in the League Two. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (36.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.25 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sprangler.
Judged on this season alone, Sprangler graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 21st of 23 of the 23 defensive midfielders in the League Two, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 4.252 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 14 → 10). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 20th of 23 of the 23 defensive midfielders in the League Two. At 31 Sprangler is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.8 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Walsall finished 5th of 24 · an upper-table side
4.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 36.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 14.2, Sprangler carries the 20th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League Two of 23 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
