Scout report

An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (17.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.49 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gilchrist.
Judged on this season alone, Gilchrist graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 79th of 82 of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship, on 2 clean sheets and 3.493 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 43 → 8). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 56, 38th of 82 of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship. At 22 Gilchrist is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 24.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · West Brom finished 21st of 24 · a lower-table side
3.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (21st 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.
Strengths
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 17.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 56.2, Gilchrist carries the 38th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 82 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.49 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.
