Scout report
H. ter Avest is a 29-year-old central defender at Oxford United, rated 32.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 415th of 495 on scout potential in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (15.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.72 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Avest.
Judged on this season alone, Avest graded 5 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 86th of 89 of the 89 centre-backs in the Championship, on 1 clean sheet and 3.721 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 13 → 5). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, 69th of 89 of the 89 centre-backs in the Championship. At 29 Avest is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Avest missed 10 games through injury (injury) out of roughly 46 this season. The 13 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 · Oxford United finished 22nd of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
3.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 13 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (22nd 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. 3.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 15.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 32.1, Avest carries the 69th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 89 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
