Scout report

Squad depthCentral defender

R. Graham is a 25-year-old central defender at Dundee Utd, rated 43.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 74th of 225 on scout potential in the Premiership. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (59.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.91 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Graham.

Judged on this season alone, Graham graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 21st of 35 of the 35 centre-backs in the Premiership, on 4 clean sheets and 2.911 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 14 → 17). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 44, top 20% of the 35 centre-backs in the Premiership. At 25 Graham is in his prime years, and a market index of 9.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Graham missed 4 games through injury (hamstring) out of roughly 38 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 59.6% 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 43.6, Graham carries the 7th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premiership (top 20%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
