Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Vale.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 38 → 39). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 71, top 9% of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship. At 22 Vale is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 31 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Vale missed 6 games through injury (inactive, muscle) out of roughly 46 this season. The 31 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.
Vale is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · QPR finished 15th of 24 · a mid-table side
2.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 60.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.37 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 70.9, Vale carries the 6th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship (top 9%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.24 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 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
