Scout report
J. Clarke-Salter is a 28-year-old central defender at QPR, rated 39.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 395th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Clarke-Salter.
Judged on this season alone, Clarke-Salter graded 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 81st of 82 of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship, on 2 clean sheets and 1.997 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 7 → 7). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, 64th of 82 of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship. At 28 Clarke-Salter is in his prime years, and a market index of 11 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Clarke-Salter missed 9 games through injury (hip, inactive) out of roughly 46 this season. The 14 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 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.

- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 39.9, Clarke-Salter carries the 64th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 82 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
