  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 23.4, Doyle-Hayes carries the 7th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League Two of 48 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
