Clean sheets

2.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 12 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th of 15) 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.

Outlook

With a Rating of 26.2, Katránis carries the 86th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 120 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.26 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 (~5), then tapers with age. At 28, Katránis sits on 2.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Katránis's projected Rating — 26.2 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.
