Clean sheets

3.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 67% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 29.6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 (~28), then tapers with age. At 28, Touba sits on 4.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Touba's projected Rating — 29.6 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.
