On long-term talent our Rating reads 63, top 26% of the 109 central midfielders in the Championship. At 26 Slater is in his prime years, and a market index of 28.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Slater missed 4 games through injury (ankle) out of roughly 49 this season. The 45 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Hull City finished 6th of 24 · an upper-table side
3.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 45 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 77.7% 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
With a Rating of 62.8, Slater carries the 28th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship (top 26%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.41 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.
