Scout report
P. Digby is a 31-year-old defensive midfielder at Dundee, rated 17.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 204th of 225 on scout potential in the Premiership. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (21.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.15 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Digby.
Judged on this season alone, Digby graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 37th of 40 of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Premiership, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 4.154 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 17 → 10). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 38th of 40 of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Premiership. At 31 Digby is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.8 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Dundee finished 9th of 12 · a lower-table side
4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 14 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (9th of 12) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 21.5% 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
With a Rating of 17.6, Digby carries the 38th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premiership of 40 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
