Judged on this season alone, Powell graded 24 — a solid campaign that ranks top 35% of the 66 central midfielders in the League One, on 0 goals, 4 assists and 2.893 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 42 → 24). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, 40th of 66 of the 66 central midfielders in the League One. At 27 Powell is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.9 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 · Rotherham finished 23rd of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
2.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (23rd 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 60.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 36.3, Powell carries the 40th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League One of 66, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Rotherham finished 23rd of 24) — 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 (2.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
