Clean sheets

4.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 6 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 4.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

Game time. Only 20.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 51.6 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~16), then tapers with age. At 21, Tangala sits on 14.7, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Tangala's projected Rating — 51.6 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.
