Scout report
D. Malone is a 37-year-old central defender at Telstar, rated 4.2 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (7.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.48 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Malone.
On the season, Malone graded 2 for current form (age-blind), on 0 clean sheets and 3.478 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 46 → 2). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 4. At 37 Malone is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Malone missed 5 games through injury (inactive) out of roughly 34 this season. The 11 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 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Telstar finished 14th of 18 · a lower-table side
3.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 11 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 18) 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 7.9% 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 4.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
