Clean sheets

5.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (23rd 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.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 5.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Game time. Only 36.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 40.5 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 age 28 (~11), then tapers with age. At 28, Choudhury sits on 11.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Choudhury's projected Rating — 40.5 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.
