On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 63rd of 66 of the 66 central midfielders in the League One. At 33 Saville is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.2 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 38 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (7th of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 57.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, 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 16.8, Saville carries the 63rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League One of 66. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
