On long-term talent our Rating reads 35, 47th of 63 of the 63 defensive midfielders in the League One. At 29 Wintle is in his prime years, and a market index of 11.9 reflects that trajectory.
Wintle is operating at his career peak — the 2022/23 level is the level.
2.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 13 clean sheets across 40 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 1 goal and 7 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 35, Wintle carries the 47th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League One of 63. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~22), then tapers with age. At 29, Wintle sits on 11.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Wintle's projected Rating — 35 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.
