Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 16 → 18). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 46, top 29% of the 63 defensive midfielders in the League One. At 23 Simons is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 28.2 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Simons is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
3.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 45.5, Simons carries the 18th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League One (top 29%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.11 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 (~28), then tapers with age. At 23, Simons sits on 28.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Simons's projected Rating — 45.5 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.
