On the season, Dykes graded 23 for current form (age-blind), on 5 goals and 3 assists in 41 appearances (0.362 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 23 → 23). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 31. At 31 Dykes is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7.8 reflects that trajectory.

5 goals in 41 appearances (0.12 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 8 goal contributions (0.2 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.36 goal contributions per 90 (0.23 goals, 0.14 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.1% 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

Rated 30.9 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.36 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
