Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 8 → 11). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 47. At 29 Barclay is in his prime years, and a market index of 30.7 reflects that trajectory.

Output in context · Brighton U21 finished 2nd of 4 · a title-challenging side
2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 3 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 4) 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.
Strengths
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 96.7/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 33.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 46.5 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
