Clean sheets

4.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 6 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 76.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Defensive volume. 4.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 65.405 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~30), then tapers with age. At 19, Baouf sits on 15.4, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Baouf's projected Rating — 65.405 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.
