D. Love is a 31-year-old central midfielder at Accrington ST, rated 14.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 210th of 254 on scout potential in the League Two. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (40.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.13 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Love.
Judged on this season alone, Love graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 26th of 48 of the 48 central midfielders in the League Two, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.126 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 24 → 14). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 44th of 48 of the 48 central midfielders in the League Two. At 31 Love is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Accrington ST finished 10th of 24 · a mid-table side
3.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 40.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 14.7, Love carries the 44th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League Two of 48 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
