An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (37% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.78 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Potts.
Judged on this season alone, Potts graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 48th of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Premier League, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.779 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 36 → 18). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 74, 23rd of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Premier League. At 22 Potts is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 84.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · West Ham finished 18th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
3.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 20) 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91.1/100).
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 37% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 73.8, Potts carries the 23rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier League of 55, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (West Ham finished 18th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
