One of the biggest game-time risers in the League One: on the pitch for 85% of Stockport County's available minutes this season, up from 9% last year — a bench-to-starter jump the ratings will catch up with at the next checkpoint.

Squad depthAttacking midfielder

L. Bate is a 23-year-old attacking midfielder at Stockport County, rated 40.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 77th of 190 on scout potential in the League One. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (9% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bate.

Judged on this season alone, Bate graded 0 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 12th of 13 of the 13 attacking midfielders in the League One, on 0 goals and 0 assists in 14 appearances (0 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 2 → 2). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, 6th of 13 of the 13 attacking midfielders in the League One. At 23 Bate is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 9 reflects that trajectory.

0 goals in 14 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 40.1, Bate carries the 6th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the League One of 13 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
