Clean sheets

3.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 17 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (22nd of 24) 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.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 3.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Game time. Only 17.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 23.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.8 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 (~3), then tapers with age. At 26, Odimayo sits on 2.5, at or near its peak. The blue line is Odimayo's projected Rating — 23.2 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.
