Squad depthAttacking midfielder

M. Bird is a 25-year-old attacking midfielder at Bristol City, rated 60.8 overall by Field Insider's model. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (27.1% of available minutes). He brings 0.48 goal contributions per 90 (0.32 goals, 0.16 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bird.

On the season, Bird graded 16 for current form (age-blind), on 2 goals and 1 assist in 15 appearances (0.48 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 47 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 61. At 25 Bird is in his prime years, and a market index of 28 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Bird missed 30 games through injury (calf, injury, injured) out of roughly 46 this season. The 15 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.
