Outlook

With a Rating of 58, Knight carries the 9th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 53 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
