Outlook

With a Rating of 29.7, Sweeney carries the 11th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League Two of 40 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
