An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (69.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.91 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cantwell.
Judged on this season alone, Cantwell graded 47 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 13% of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship, on 5 goals, 3 assists and 2.913 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 26 → 47). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 52, 44th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship. At 28 Cantwell is in his prime years, and a market index of 21.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Cantwell missed 13 games through injury (knee, injury) out of roughly 46 this season. The 28 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.
A career still climbing — Cantwell is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Blackburn finished 20th of 24 · a lower-table side
2.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (20th of 24) 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 5 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 69.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.35 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 51.8, Cantwell carries the 44th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 73, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Blackburn finished 20th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years). Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
