Scout report
J. Ward-Prowse is a 31-year-old central midfielder at Burnley, rated 39.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 330th of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (64.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.41 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ward-Prowse.
Judged on this season alone, Ward-Prowse graded 30 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 20th of 35 of the 35 central midfielders in the Premier League, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.408 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 30). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 39, 31st of 35 of the 35 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 31 Ward-Prowse is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 26.8 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Burnley finished 19th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
3.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 64.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90.5/100).
Watch points
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 39.4, Ward-Prowse carries the 31st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 35, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Burnley finished 19th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
