Clean sheets

5.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 9 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th of 17) 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

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Defensive volume. 5.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Game time. Only 19.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 39.1 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.

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 (~8), then tapers with age. At 21, Akpan sits on 7.1, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Akpan's projected Rating — 39.1 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.
