R. Alebiosu is a 24-year-old central midfielder at Blackburn, rated 70.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 47th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. An emerging talent, he has been an ever-present this season (91.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.96 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Alebiosu.

Judged on this season alone, Alebiosu graded 44 — a strong campaign that ranks top 17% of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship, on 1 goal, 5 assists and 2.957 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 44). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 70, top 11% of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship. At 24 Alebiosu is in his prime years, and a market index of 33.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Alebiosu missed 7 games through injury (international duty, injured) out of roughly 46 this season. The 39 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.

Clean sheets

2.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 39 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 91.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 70.2, Alebiosu carries the 8th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship (top 11%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Blackburn finished 20th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
