We hold a single season for Gouda, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, top 2% of the 77 centre-backs in the Premier League. At 22 Gouda is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 4.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 21) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 39.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 33.2, Gouda carries the 1st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 77 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
