Scout report

Experienced headGoal-getting Centre-forward

L. Dykes is a 31-year-old centre-forward at Millwall, rated 29.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 216th of 272 on scout potential in the Championship. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (34.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.62 goal contributions per 90 (0.5 goals, 0.13 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Dykes.

Judged on this season alone, Dykes graded 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 9th of 22 of the 22 centre-forwards in the Championship, on 4 goals and 1 assist in 11 appearances (0.624 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 23 → 25). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 18th of 22 of the 22 centre-forwards in the Championship. At 31 Dykes is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 8.6 reflects that trajectory.

4 goals in 11 appearances (0.36 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 5 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.62 goal contributions per 90 (0.5 goals, 0.13 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 34.8% 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 29.8, Dykes carries the 18th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Championship of 22 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.62 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
