Clean sheets

2.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 5 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 90.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.3/100).

Watch points

Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 70.4 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.48 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.

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 (~42), then tapers with age. At 27, Tapsoba sits on 42.1, at or near its peak. The blue line is Tapsoba's projected Rating — 70.4 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.
