Scout report
Liam Oakes is a 19-year-old full-back at Exeter City, rated 41.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 192nd of 481 on scout potential in the League One and 582nd of 995 U-21 players tracked. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (20.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.68 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Oakes.
Judged on this season alone, Oakes graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 73rd of 79 of the 79 full-backs in the League One, on 3 clean sheets and 3.684 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 10).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, top 37% of the 79 full-backs in the League One. At 19 Oakes is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 7.4 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Exeter City finished 21st of 24 · a lower-table side
3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 17 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 20.7% 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 41.5, Oakes carries the 29th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League One of 79 — though on just 17 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
