Scout report

Project playerCentral defender

R. Dickie is a 30-year-old central defender at Bristol City, rated 41 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 382nd of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (79.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.34 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Dickie.

Judged on this season alone, Dickie graded 39 — a strong campaign that ranks top 22% of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship, on 9 clean sheets and 3.336 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 25 → 39). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, 61st of 82 of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship. At 30 Dickie is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 15.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Dickie missed 7 games through injury and 1 suspension (hamstring) out of roughly 46 this season. The 33 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.
