An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.36 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Dickie.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 33 → 9). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, 44th of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Championship. At 30 Dickie is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7.3 reflects that trajectory.

  • Game time. Only 29.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 31.5, Dickie carries the 44th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 54 — though on just 7 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
