Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Rankin-Costello.
Judged on this season alone, Rankin-Costello graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 64th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship, on 2 goals, 0 assists and 2.691 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 21 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 51, 46th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship. At 26 Rankin-Costello is in his prime years, and a market index of 23.5 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (19th 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 50.9, Rankin-Costello carries the 46th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 73 — though on just 23 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.69 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. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

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 26, Rankin-Costello sits on 23.5, at or near its peak. The blue line is Rankin-Costello's projected Rating — 50.9 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.
