Output in context · Stoke City finished 17th of 24 · a lower-table side
4 clean sheets in 15 appearances (27% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (17th of 24) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 62.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 67.4, Simkin carries the 8th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Championship (top 19%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Stoke City finished 17th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A a regular starter keeper carrying the gloves this season. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
