Squad depthBall-winning Central defender

Ernie Weaver is a 19-year-old central defender at Sheffield Wednesday, rated 56.6 overall by Field Insider's model. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (17.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.78 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Weaver.

On the season, Weaver graded 6 for current form (age-blind), on 0 clean sheets and 4.777 defensive actions per 90.

We hold a single season for Weaver, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 57. At 19 Weaver is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 20.9 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Weaver missed 27 games through injury (leg) out of roughly 46 this season. The 5 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.

Clean sheets

4.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 5 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (24th of 24) 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 17.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 56.6 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
