We hold a single season for Montgomery, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 57, 36th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship. At 22 Montgomery is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 25.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Montgomery missed 9 games through injury (injury, ankle, inactive) out of roughly 46 this season. The 21 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Output in context · Blackburn finished 20th of 24 · a lower-table side
4.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (20th 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 24.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 57.4, Montgomery carries the 36th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 73 — though on just 21 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
