We hold a single season for Heskey, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 60, top 40% of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship. At 20 Heskey is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 65.7 reflects that trajectory.
3.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (24th 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.
With a Rating of 60.4, Heskey carries the 29th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship (top 40%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Sheffield Wednesday finished 24th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.36 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 (~77), then tapers with age. At 20, Heskey sits on 65.7, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Heskey's projected Rating — 60.4 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.
