On long-term talent our Rating reads 22. At 29 Zelalem is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.1 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Zelalem is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 6 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 12) 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.
Rated 21.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~11), then tapers with age. At 29, Zelalem sits on 6.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Zelalem's projected Rating — 21.5 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.
