One of the biggest game-time risers in the Championship: on the pitch for 100% 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.

Squad depthCentral defender

Tom Atcheson is a 19-year-old central defender at Blackburn, rated 60.3 overall by Field Insider's model. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (26.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.24 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Atcheson.

On the season, Atcheson graded 11 for current form (age-blind), on 3 clean sheets and 3.235 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 11 → 11).

On long-term talent our Rating reads 60. At 19 Atcheson is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 22.2 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 14 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.

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 26.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 60.3 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
