Clean sheets

0.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 14 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Game time. Only 29.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 58.1 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.34 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 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

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 (~27), then tapers with age. At 24, Mbayo sits on 26.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Mbayo's projected Rating — 58.1 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.
