Squad depthGoalkeeper

Tommy Simkin is a 21-year-old goalkeeper at Stoke City, rated 61.7 overall by Field Insider's model. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (32.6% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Simkin.

On the season, Simkin graded 9 for current form (age-blind), on 4 clean sheets across 15 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 9 → 5). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 62. At 21 Simkin is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 25.6 reflects that trajectory.

4 clean sheets in 15 appearances (27% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (17th of 24) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 32.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 61.7 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
