On long-term scout potential he's rated 8.5, ranking 490th of 493 in the Championship. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (28% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.03 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Forsyth.
Judged on this season alone, Forsyth graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 67th of 77 of the 77 full-backs in the Championship, on 3 clean sheets and 3.031 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 24 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 9, 77th of 77 of the 77 full-backs in the Championship. At 37 Forsyth is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Derby finished 8th of 24 · an upper-table side
3.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (8th of 24) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 28% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 37, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 8.5, Forsyth carries the 77th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Championship of 77. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
