Clean sheets

1.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 5 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 67.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Defensive numbers. Modest 1.94 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 35.2 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.94 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.

Market valueRating

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 (~9), then tapers with age. At 27, Koita sits on 8.6, at or near its peak. The blue line is Koita's projected Rating — 35.2 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.
