Clean sheets

3.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 81.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Defensive volume. 3.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 28.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

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 (~13), then tapers with age. At 31, Mae sits on 5.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Mae's projected Rating — 28.9 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.
