Strengths

Final-third output. 0.91 goal contributions per 90 (0.68 goals, 0.23 assists) — productive for the role.

Game time. Only 38.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Defensive numbers. Modest 1.71 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 27.3, Lakin carries the 8th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the League Two of 12 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.91 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~5), then tapers with age. At 27, Lakin sits on 4.9, at or near its peak. The blue line is Lakin's projected Rating — 27.3 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.
