Squad depthCentral midfielder

S. Field is a 28-year-old central midfielder at QPR, rated 44.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 356th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (38.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.11 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Field.

Judged on this season alone, Field graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 52nd of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship, on 0 goals, 2 assists and 3.108 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 34 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 44, 57th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship. At 28 Field is in his prime years, and a market index of 12.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Field missed 3 games through injury (injury) out of roughly 46 this season. The 31 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 38.9% 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 44.2, Field carries the 57th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 73. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
