On the season, Brady graded 1 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 2 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 22 → 1). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 9. At 34 Brady is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Brady missed 28 games through injury (calf, inactive, muscle) out of roughly 46 this season. The 5 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.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Preston finished 14th of 24 · a mid-table side
2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 5 appearances.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 4.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 9.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
