Squad depthCentral midfielder

A. Keita is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Diosgyori VTK, rated 21.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 96th of 167 on scout potential in the NB I. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (28% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.03 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Keita.

Judged on this season alone, Keita graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 24th of 41 of the 41 central midfielders in the NB I, on 2 goals, 0 assists and 3.032 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 14). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 29th of 41 of the 41 central midfielders in the NB I. At 28 Keita is in his prime years, and a market index of 1.7 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 19 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (11th of 12) 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 28% 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 21.6, Keita carries the 29th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the NB I of 41 — though on just 19 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
