Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kyprianou.

Judged on this season alone, Kyprianou graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 69th of 109 of the 109 central midfielders in the Championship, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 2.989 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 28 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 59, 47th of 109 of the 109 central midfielders in the Championship. At 25 Kyprianou is in his prime years, and a market index of 27 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Kyprianou missed 16 games through injury (ankle) out of roughly 46 this season. The 25 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
