Scout report
W. Forrester is a 25-year-old central defender at Leyton Orient, rated 39.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 223rd of 481 on scout potential in the League One. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (40.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.6 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Forrester.
Judged on this season alone, Forrester graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 68th of 88 of the 88 centre-backs in the League One, on 3 clean sheets and 3.6 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 13 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, 36th of 88 of the 88 centre-backs in the League One. At 25 Forrester is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Forrester missed 7 games through injury (hamstring) out of roughly 46 this season. The 17 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.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Leyton Orient finished 20th of 24 · a lower-table side
3.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 17 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 40.6% 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 39.8, Forrester carries the 36th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League One of 88, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Leyton Orient 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 solid defensive volume (3.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
