Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 19 → 13). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 59, top 36% of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship. At 24 Leonard is in his prime years, and a market index of 27.3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Birmingham finished 10th of 24 · a mid-table side
5.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 15 appearances.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 5.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 29.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 59.2, Leonard carries the 23rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Championship of 65 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
