W. Boyle is a 30-year-old central defender at Shrewsbury, rated 20.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 313th of 478 in the League Two. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (90.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.87 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Boyle.
Judged on this season alone, Boyle graded 32 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 15% of the 76 centre-backs in the League Two, on 12 clean sheets and 2.869 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 16 → 32). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 41st of 76 of the 76 centre-backs in the League Two. At 30 Boyle is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.1 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Boyle is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
2.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 43 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (19th 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. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 20.5, Boyle carries the 41st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League Two of 76, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Shrewsbury finished 19th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

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 (~6), then tapers with age. At 30, Boyle sits on 3.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Boyle's projected Rating — 20.5 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.
