Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

D. Button is a 37-year-old goalkeeper at Ipswich, rated 3 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (0% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Button.

On the season, Button graded 0 for current form (age-blind), on 0 clean sheets across 0 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 16 → 0). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 3. At 37 Button is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Button missed 14 games through injury (calf, inactive) out of roughly 1 this season. The 0 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.

Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 0% 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

Rated 3 overall — below regular-starter level. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
