A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (5.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.43 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Taylor.

On the season, Taylor graded 2 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.429 defensive actions per 90.

Clean sheets

3.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 1 appearance. Doing that for a lower-table side (19th 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

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.2/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 5.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 11.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
