Judged on this season alone, Bickerstaff graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 28th of 60 of the 60 attacking midfielders in the League Two, on 4 goals and 4 assists in 45 appearances (0.243 involvements per 90).

On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, top 17% of the 60 attacking midfielders in the League Two. At 24 Bickerstaff is in his prime years, and a market index of 10.2 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Bickerstaff is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
4 goals in 45 appearances (0.09 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 8 goal contributions (0.18 per appearance).
With a Rating of 33.9, Bickerstaff carries the 10th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the League Two (top 17%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Cheltenham finished 18th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.24 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 (~10), then tapers with age. At 24, Bickerstaff sits on 10.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Bickerstaff's projected Rating — 33.9 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.
