On long-term talent our Rating reads 59, top 36% of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship. At 24 Leonard is in his prime years, and a market index of 27.3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
5.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 15 appearances.
With a Rating of 59.2, Leonard carries the 23rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Championship of 65 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 (~27), then tapers with age. At 24, Leonard sits on 27.3, at or near its peak. The blue line is Leonard's projected Rating — 59.2 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.
