Scout report
J. Cajuste is a 26-year-old central midfielder at Ipswich, rated 56.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 262nd of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.69 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cajuste.
Judged on this season alone, Cajuste graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 51st of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship, on 1 goal, 3 assists and 2.691 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 30 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 56, 39th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship. At 26 Cajuste is in his prime years, and a market index of 25.9 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Ipswich finished 2nd of 24 · a title-challenging side
2.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 29.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 56.3, Cajuste carries the 39th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 73. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
