A career still climbing — Bailey is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
2.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 46 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 47.3, Bailey carries the 9th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League One (top 15%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~29), then tapers with age. At 26, Bailey sits on 29.3, at or near its peak. The blue line is Bailey's projected Rating — 47.3 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.
