Scout report
L. Thompson is a 31-year-old central midfielder at Stevenage, rated 21.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 412th of 481 on scout potential in the League One. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (37.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.2 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Thompson.
Judged on this season alone, Thompson graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 41st of 66 of the 66 central midfielders in the League One, on 2 goals, 0 assists and 3.204 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 30 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 57th of 66 of the 66 central midfielders in the League One. At 31 Thompson is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.7 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Stevenage finished 6th of 24 · an upper-table side
3.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 37.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 21.1, Thompson carries the 57th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League One of 66. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
