Clean sheets

3.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 24) 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. 3.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Game time. Only 44.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 48.8 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.8 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.

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 (~23), then tapers with age. At 27, Bocat sits on 22.5, at or near its peak. The blue line is Bocat's projected Rating — 48.8 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.
