Clean sheets

1.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.42 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Creativity. 0.31 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

Game time. Only 24.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 49.5 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

Market valueRating

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 (~16), then tapers with age. At 22, Bafdili sits on 14.9, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Bafdili's projected Rating — 49.5 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.
