Scout report
A. Hickey is a 24-year-old central midfielder at Brentford, rated 72 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 199th of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (24.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.59 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hickey.
Judged on this season alone, Hickey graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 35th of 35 of the 35 central midfielders in the Premier League, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.59 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 6 → 8). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 72, 19th of 35 of the 35 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 24 Hickey is in his prime years, and a market index of 86.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Hickey missed 5 games through injury (hamstring, knee, injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 21 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.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Brentford finished 9th of 20 · a mid-table side
3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 21 appearances.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 95.8/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 24.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 72, Hickey carries the 19th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 35 — though on just 21 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
