Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Burton Albion finished 17th of 24 · a lower-table side
2.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 38 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th 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 2 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 78.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 42.3, Godwin-Malife carries the 26th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League One (top 33%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Burton Albion 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. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
