In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (50.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.12 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Greaves.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 17 → 28). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 64, top 25% of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship. At 25 Greaves is in his prime years, and a market index of 29.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Ipswich finished 2nd of 24 · a title-challenging side
3.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 50.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 63.7, Greaves carries the 20th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship (top 25%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
