On the season, Ince graded 13 for current form (age-blind), on 4 goals and 0 assists in 27 appearances (0.344 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 17 → 13). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

4 goals in 27 appearances (0.15 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 25.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 13.8 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.34 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
