Clean sheets

2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 6 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 18) 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.

Watch points

Game time. Only 2.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 56.3 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

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 (~34), then tapers with age. At 25, Pherai sits on 33.6, at or near its peak. The blue line is Pherai's projected Rating — 56.3 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.
