Scout report

Squad depthWinger

L. Bailey is a 28-year-old winger at Aston Villa, rated 52.3 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (19.7% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bailey.

On the season, Bailey graded 5 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals and 1 assist in 13 appearances (0.188 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 12 → 5). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 52. At 28 Bailey is in his prime years, and a market index of 37.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Bailey missed 11 games through injury (thigh, thigh problems, muscle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 13 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

0 goals in 13 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 1 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 98.4/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 19.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.19 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

Rated 52.3 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.19 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
