Scout report
M. Palmer is a 31-year-old central midfielder at Notts County, rated 14.7 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.6 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Palmer.
On the season, Palmer graded 1 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 2.596 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 23 → 1). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 15. At 31 Palmer is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.5 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Palmer is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Notts County finished 18th of 24 · a lower-table side
2.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 3 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (18th 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 14.7 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
