Clean sheets

1.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 18) 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Game time. Only 28.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 56.1 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 21.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Pherai's projected Rating — 56.1 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.
