Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Phillips.
Judged on this season alone, Phillips graded 34 — a solid campaign that ranks top 35% of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship, on 11 clean sheets and 2.256 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 33 → 34). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 71, top 5% of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship. At 21 Phillips is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 81.9 reflects that trajectory.
Phillips is operating at his career peak — the 2024/25 level is the level.
2.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 40 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 71.1, Phillips carries the 4th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship (top 5%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Stoke City finished 17th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~91), then tapers with age. At 21, Phillips sits on 81.9, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Phillips's projected Rating — 71.1 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.
