What he’s worth on the pitch today — our number, not the market’s. A direct inside forward who attacks space with intent.
GPS / value trend
Logged GPS and value trends appear after at least two real daily snapshots.
Daily snapshots only. Sparse history stays hidden rather than drawing a flat line.
Value trajectory
Value trajectory appears once GoalPost has a current FMV and dated season ratings.
Dashed line is reconstructed from season ratings, age, role, and today's GoalPost value. Logged-live value points will appear here once history accrues.

Playing style
Bayliss is an emerging midfielder who plays like an inside forward: he drifts off the line, finds pockets between defenders, and looks to turn possession into forward momentum quickly. His game is built on sharp movement, angle changes, and arriving in dangerous spaces rather than dwelling on the ball. The GoalPost read is limited, but the attacking instinct is clear.
View style breakdown →World Cup 2026 outlook
For Australia at World Cup 2026, Bayliss matters as a fresh, ascending option who can bring directness and urgency from midfield. He offers a different kind of threat: one that stretches shape, opens lanes, and gives the squad another runner who wants to play toward goal.
