Scout report

Squad depthCentral midfielder

L. Cundle is a 24-year-old central midfielder at Millwall, rated 64.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 134th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.5 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cundle.

Judged on this season alone, Cundle graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 40th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship, on 4 goals, 0 assists and 2.502 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 10 → 20). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 64, top 27% of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship. At 24 Cundle is in his prime years, and a market index of 29.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Cundle missed 7 games through injury (shoulder, inactive) out of roughly 48 this season. The 30 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.

Clean sheets

2.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 4 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 64.2, Cundle carries the 19th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship (top 27%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
