Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 30 → 34). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 14. At 33 Young is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Young is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Cheltenham finished 18th of 24 · a lower-table side
2.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 45 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (18th of 24) 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 87% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 14 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
