Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 27 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 62, top 37% of the 77 full-backs in the Championship. At 25 Welington is in his prime years, and a market index of 28.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Welington missed 10 games through injury and 2 suspensions (muscle, ankle) out of roughly 48 this season. The 19 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.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
4.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 61.7, Welington carries the 28th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Championship (top 37%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~28), then tapers with age. At 25, Welington sits on 28.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Welington's projected Rating — 61.7 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
