We hold a single season for Brannan, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, 19th of 40 of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Premiership. At 19 Brannan is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 7.6 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Kilmarnock finished 11th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (11th of 12) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 20.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 42.7, Brannan carries the 19th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premiership of 40 — though on just 17 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
