Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 46.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 64.6, Sturge carries the 3rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Championship of 37 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
