Scout report
L. Mayo is a 26-year-old central defender at Kilmarnock, rated 38 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 120th of 225 on scout potential in the Premiership. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (53.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.55 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mayo.
Judged on this season alone, Mayo graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 19th of 35 of the 35 centre-backs in the Premiership, on 5 clean sheets and 3.553 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 36 → 21). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 38, 20th of 35 of the 35 centre-backs in the Premiership. At 26 Mayo is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.5 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Kilmarnock finished 11th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (11th of 12) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 53.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 38, Mayo carries the 20th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premiership of 35, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Kilmarnock finished 11th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.55 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.
