Scout report

Experienced headFull-back

B. Smith is a 32-year-old full-back at FC Cincinnati, rated 13 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (19.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.31 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Smith.

On the season, Smith graded 3 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 1.307 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 3 → 3). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 13. At 32 Smith is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Smith missed 6 games through injury (muscle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 25 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

1.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 25 appearances.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 19.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 13 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
