Clean sheets

1.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 18) 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 3 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 70.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.4/100).

Watch points

Defensive numbers. Modest 1.87 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

Rated 72.5 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~45), then tapers with age. At 26, Abner sits on 45.1, at or near its peak. The blue line is Abner's projected Rating — 72.5 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.
