On the season, Little graded 33 for current form (age-blind), on 5 goals, 3 assists and 3.38 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 33 → 33). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 22. At 29 Little is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Gillingham finished 17th of 24 · a lower-table side
3.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th 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 5 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 63.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 21.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
