Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 10 → 3).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, 14th of 25 of the 25 central midfielders in the League One. At 22 O'Brien-Brady is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 8.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Peterborough finished 18th of 24 · a lower-table side
2.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (18th 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 16.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 39.5, O'Brien-Brady carries the 14th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League One of 25 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
