Project playerAttacking midfielder

B. Lyons is a 29-year-old attacking midfielder at Kilmarnock, rated 28 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 170th of 225 on scout potential in the Premiership. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (60.2% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lyons.

Judged on this season alone, Lyons graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 30th of 40 of the 40 attacking midfielders in the Premiership, on 1 goal and 1 assist in 31 appearances (0.087 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 28 → 9). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, 32nd of 40 of the 40 attacking midfielders in the Premiership. At 29 Lyons is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.4 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

1 goal in 31 appearances (0.03 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 2 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 60.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Output. 0.09 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 28, Lyons carries the 32nd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premiership of 40, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Kilmarnock finished 11th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.09 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
