Webster is a 22-year-old defensive midfielder at Burton Albion, rated 47.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 62nd of 481 on scout potential in the League One and 1252nd of 2878 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (45.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.12 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Webster.

Judged on this season alone, Webster graded 28 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 63 of the 63 defensive midfielders in the League One, on 6 goals, 3 assists and 2.115 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 27 → 28). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 48, top 13% of the 63 defensive midfielders in the League One. At 22 Webster is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 10.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th 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. Going forward he chipped in 6 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.43 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 45.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 47.8, Webster carries the 8th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League One (top 13%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Burton Albion finished 17th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
