19 clean sheets in 45 appearances (42% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (3rd of 24) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Outlook

With a Rating of 25.6, Eastwood carries the 16th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the League Two of 33. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~5), then tapers with age. At 29, Eastwood sits on 2.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Eastwood's projected Rating — 25.6 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
