Clean sheets

3.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 20 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 3.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Game time. Only 28.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 57 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.66 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.

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 age 26 (~35), then tapers with age. At 26, Niasse sits on 35.3, at or near its peak. The blue line is Niasse's projected Rating — 57 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.
