On long-term talent our Rating reads 50, top 3% of the 89 centre-backs in the League One. At 20 Lawlor is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 26.4 reflects that trajectory.
2.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 50.1, Lawlor carries the 2nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League One (top 3%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, 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 (~31), then tapers with age. At 20, Lawlor sits on 26.4, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Lawlor's projected Rating — 50.1 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.
