JOËL VELTMAN
Defender · West Ham · Championship
GoalPost verdict
GoalPost score (GPS)
GoalPost read
A veteran full back whose best recent work came at Brighton, Veltman still has value, but uncertainty over a starting place and the league-level discount keep it contained. Past his usual peak window, he remains a usable defender rather than a premium one.
