This is part two of the South London Sport: Charlton Athletic Edition player ratings for the 2025-26 Championship season.
If you missed the scores for goalkeepers, defenders and defensive midfielders, it can be found here.
Players needed to have featured in at least 10 matches in the campaign to be rated.
Below we have the scores awarded by myself, pod host Louis Mendez and also an average rating from subscribers who voted in our survey.
JOE RANKIN-COSTELLO
When we talk about surprises in the campaign just completed, Rankin-Costello’s lack of starts was something of a puzzle.
When you bear in mind that he had seven successive seasons of playing in the Championship, and more than 100 appearances in the league, it felt like he would be one of the first-team regulars after his transfer from Blackburn Rovers.
If Rankin-Costello’s move to the capital was about increasing his exposure to the level then it didn’t happen. He played six fewer Championship matches than the previous season and saw his minutes reduced from 1,237 to 813.
