Clean sheets

5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 2 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 4) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 1 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Defensive volume. 5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 96.7/100).
Ceiling. High potential at just 18 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

Game time. Only 33.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 84.6 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 18, 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 (~169), then tapers with age. At 18, King sits on 126.9, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is King's projected Rating — 84.6 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.
