Alexander Palmer
Goalkeeper · Ipswich · season-by-season, by competition, and every match.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
The record covers 6 seasons (2020/21–2025/26) across 4 clubs — 161 appearances with 3 goal contributions as a goalkeeper.
His best campaign on record is 2023/24 at West Brom — Season rating 50, 0 goals and 0 assists in 48 games. 2023/24 was the leap — Season rating up 29 points at West Brom. Form has slipped 41 Season points across his last 3 full seasons. The gap to his peak is 41 Season points.
2025/26 was disrupted — 8 fixtures missed through injury or absence. A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±16 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart.
