Squad depthGoal-getting Attacking midfielder

Leo Castledine is a 20-year-old attacking midfielder at Huddersfield, rated 49.4 overall by Field Insider's model. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (33.3% of available minutes). He brings 0.78 goal contributions per 90 (0.65 goals, 0.13 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Castledine.

On the season, Castledine graded 25 for current form (age-blind), on 10 goals and 2 assists in 23 appearances (0.784 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 13 → 25).

On long-term talent our Rating reads 49. At 20 Castledine is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 9.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Castledine missed 5 games through injury (inactive, injury) out of roughly 46 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.

Goals / app

10 goals in 23 appearances (0.43 per game) — double figures playing for a mid-table side (9th of 24). Add 2 assists for 12 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.78 goal contributions per 90 (0.65 goals, 0.13 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 33.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 49.4 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.78 goal contributions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
