Clean sheets

1.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (9th of 12) 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.

Watch points

Game time. Only 35.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Defensive numbers. Modest 1.51 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Age curve. At 34, 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 7.7, Williams carries the 65th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the USL Championship of 65 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~1), then tapers with age. At 34, Williams sits on 0.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Williams's projected Rating — 7.7 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
