W. Forrester is a 25-year-old central defender at Leyton Orient, rated 39.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 224th of 482 in the League One. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (40.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.6 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Forrester.
Judged on this season alone, Forrester graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 69th of 89 of the 89 centre-backs in the League One, on 3 clean sheets and 3.6 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 13 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, 37th of 89 of the 89 centre-backs in the League One. At 25 Forrester is in his prime years, and a market index of 24.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Forrester missed 7 games through injury (hamstring) out of roughly 46 this season. The 17 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 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 17 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 39.8, Forrester carries the 37th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League One of 89, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Leyton Orient finished 20th 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 solid defensive volume (3.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). 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 (~25), then tapers with age. At 25, Forrester sits on 24.7, at or near its peak. The blue line is Forrester's projected Rating — 39.8 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.
