Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Phillips.
Judged on this season alone, Phillips graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 41st of 63 of the 63 defensive midfielders in the League One, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 3.854 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 20 → 21). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 44, top 39% of the 63 defensive midfielders in the League One. At 25 Phillips is in his prime years, and a market index of 9.8 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 43.9, Phillips carries the 24th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League One (top 39%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~10), then tapers with age. At 25, Phillips sits on 9.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Phillips's projected Rating — 43.9 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.
