L. Young is a 33-year-old defensive midfielder at Cheltenham, rated 14.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 393rd of 478 in the League Two. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (87% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.67 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Young.
Judged on this season alone, Young graded 33 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 14% of the 67 defensive midfielders in the League Two, on 2 goals, 5 assists and 2.673 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 30 → 33). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 59th of 67 of the 67 defensive midfielders in the League Two. At 33 Young is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.5 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Young is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
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.
With a Rating of 14.1, Young carries the 59th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League Two of 67, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Cheltenham finished 18th of 24) — 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 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).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~4), then tapers with age. At 33, Young sits on 1.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Young's projected Rating — 14.1 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
