Scout report
G. Lapslie is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Bradford, rated 29.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 71st of 109 on scout potential in the League One. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (15% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.29 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lapslie.
Judged on this season alone, Lapslie graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 22nd of 25 of the 25 central midfielders in the League One, on 0 goals, 2 assists and 4.292 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 16 → 9). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 19th of 25 of the 25 central midfielders in the League One. At 28 Lapslie is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Bradford finished 4th of 24 · an upper-table side
4.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 4.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 15% 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 29.2, Lapslie carries the 19th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League One of 25 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
