Clean sheets

2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 35.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, 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 12.1, Powell carries the 62nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League Two of 67. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.86 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 (0.8× and falling).
