Clean sheets

3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 9 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.

Defensive volume. 3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Outlook

With a Rating of 27.3, Mahdioui carries the 6th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Pro League of 9 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

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 (~8), then tapers with age. At 30, Mahdioui sits on 4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Mahdioui's projected Rating — 27.3 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.
