All Championship standouts →One of the biggest game-time risers in the Championship: on the pitch for 78% of Blackburn's available minutes this season, up from 26% last year — a bench-to-starter jump the ratings will catch up with at the next checkpoint.
Tom Atcheson is a 20-year-old full-back at Blackburn, rated 67.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 77th of 272 on scout potential in the Championship and 82nd of 639 U-21 players tracked. A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (37.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.28 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Atcheson.
Judged on this season alone, Atcheson graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 25th of 37 of the 37 full-backs in the Championship, on 2 clean sheets and 3.281 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 11 → 15).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 68, top 38% of the 37 full-backs in the Championship. At 20 Atcheson is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 26.5 reflects that trajectory.
Atcheson is operating at his career peak — the 2026/27 level is the level.
Output in context · Blackburn finished 10th of 24 · a mid-table side
3.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 37.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 67.6, Atcheson carries the 14th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Championship of 37 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
