Scout report
R. Rydel is a 25-year-old full-back at Exeter City, rated 38.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 240th of 481 on scout potential in the League One. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (19.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.76 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Rydel.
Judged on this season alone, Rydel graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 75th of 79 of the 79 full-backs in the League One, on 3 clean sheets and 2.757 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 10 → 9). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 39, 35th of 79 of the 79 full-backs in the League One. At 25 Rydel is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.7 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Exeter City finished 21st of 24 · a lower-table side
2.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (21st 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 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.33 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Creativity. 0.33 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 19.7% 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 38.9, Rydel carries the 35th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League One of 79 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
