Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Stokes.
Judged on this season alone, Stokes graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 80th of 117 of the 117 central midfielders in the League One, on 3 goals, 1 assist and 2.097 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 32 → 16).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 47, top 17% of the 117 central midfielders in the League One. At 22 Stokes is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 9.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Stokes missed 13 games through injury (foot, injury) out of roughly 49 this season. The 23 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Stockport County finished 3rd of 24 · an upper-table side
2.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 32.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 46.7, Stokes carries the 19th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League One (top 17%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
