Interceptions

Clean sheets

2.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) 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 5 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.36 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Game time. Only 51.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 67 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.04 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. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around age 26 (~44), then tapers with age. At 26, Ounahi sits on 44.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Ounahi's projected Rating — 67 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines.
