On long-term talent our Rating reads 52. At 26 Smallbone is in his prime years, and a market index of 66.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Smallbone missed 28 games through injury (hamstring, calf, injured) out of roughly 48 this season. The 10 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.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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.
Rated 51.7 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~66), then tapers with age. At 26, Smallbone sits on 66.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Smallbone's projected Rating — 51.7 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.
