On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 31st of 39 of the 39 full-backs in the Super League 1. At 32 Baba is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.2 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Baba is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
2.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 14) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 18.3, Baba carries the 31st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Super League 1 of 39. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~8), then tapers with age. At 32, Baba sits on 3.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Baba's projected Rating — 18.3 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
