Clean sheets

3.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 19 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.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 3.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Age curve. At 38, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 11.8, Odoi carries the 50th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eredivisie of 50, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (NAC Breda finished 17th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).

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 (~9), then tapers with age. At 38, Odoi sits on 2.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Odoi's projected Rating — 11.8 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.
