His defensive output reads 3.19 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Thomas.
Judged on this season alone, Thomas graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 43rd of 67 of the 67 defensive midfielders in the League Two, on 3 goals, 0 assists and 3.186 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 10 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 61st of 67 of the 67 defensive midfielders in the League Two. At 32 Thomas is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
