Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hickey.
Judged on this season alone, Hickey graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 41st of 43 of the 43 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 → 9). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 72, 26th of 43 of the 43 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 24 Hickey is in his prime years, and a market index of 144 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.
3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 21 appearances.
With a Rating of 72, Hickey carries the 26th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 43 — 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.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~144), then tapers with age. At 24, Hickey sits on 144, at or near its peak. The blue line is Hickey's projected Rating — 72 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
