On long-term talent our Rating reads 55. At 26 Skipp is in his prime years, and a market index of 25.5 reflects that trajectory.

Output in context · Leicester finished 23rd of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
3.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (23rd 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 64.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
Rated 55.4 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.25 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. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
