Clean sheets

1.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 7 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 18) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.7 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Creativity. 0.35 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.5/100).

Watch points

Game time. Only 8.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 48 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. 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, Haidara sits on 16.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Haidara's projected Rating — 48 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.
