Scout report
J. Rankin-Costello is a 27-year-old central midfielder at Charlton, rated 45.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 342nd of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (20.2% 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 Rankin-Costello.
Judged on this season alone, Rankin-Costello graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 64th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship, on 2 goals, 0 assists and 2.691 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 21 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 46, 54th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship. At 27 Rankin-Costello is in his prime years, and a market index of 21 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 · Charlton finished 19th of 24 · a lower-table side
2.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (19th 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 20.2% 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 45.6, Rankin-Costello carries the 54th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 73 — though on just 23 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.69 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.
