Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Wormleighton.

We hold a single season for Wormleighton, 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 39, 42nd of 63 of the 63 defensive midfielders in the League One. At 22 Wormleighton is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 22.7 reflects that trajectory.
4.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 15 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 38.6, Wormleighton carries the 42nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League One of 63 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) 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 (~24), then tapers with age. At 22, Wormleighton sits on 22.7, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Wormleighton's projected Rating — 38.6 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.
