Scout report
J. Fulton is a 32-year-old defensive midfielder at Swansea, rated 23.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 462nd of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (31.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.77 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Fulton.
Judged on this season alone, Fulton graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 54th of 65 of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 3.767 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 13 → 15). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, 59th of 65 of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship. At 32 Fulton is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.5 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Swansea finished 11th of 24 · a mid-table side
3.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 31.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 32, 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 23.1, Fulton carries the 59th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Championship of 65. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
