Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 15 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 5. At 37 Nwakaeme is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Trabzonspor finished 3rd of 18 · an upper-table side
1.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 21.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 37, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 5.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
