Scout report
J. Carragher is a 24-year-old central defender at Wigan, rated 38.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 71st of 213 on scout potential in the League One. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (32.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.44 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Carragher.
Judged on this season alone, Carragher graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 60th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the League One, on 1 clean sheet and 2.44 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 14 → 6). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 39, top 33% of the 64 centre-backs in the League One. At 24 Carragher is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.7 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Wigan finished 24th of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
2.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 8 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (24th 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 32.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 38.8, Carragher carries the 21st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League One of 64 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
