Judged on this season alone, Salem graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 44th of 48 of the 48 full-backs in the Pro League, on 2 clean sheets and 1.757 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 11 → 8). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, 29th of 48 of the 48 full-backs in the Pro League. At 27 Salem is in his prime years, and a market index of 11.8 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
1.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th of 18) 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 40.1, Salem carries the 29th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Pro League of 48, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Al Okhdood finished 17th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.76 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.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~12), then tapers with age. At 27, Salem sits on 11.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Salem's projected Rating — 40.1 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.
