On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, 41st of 66 of the 66 central midfielders in the League One. At 26 Bolton is in his prime years, and a market index of 8 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.

Outlook
With a Rating of 35.8, Bolton carries the 41st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League One of 66 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
