Clean sheets

2.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 6 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.

Strengths

Ceiling. High potential at just 17 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

Game time. Only 27.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 65.07300000000001 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 17 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 17, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

Market valueRating

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 (~24), then tapers with age. At 17, Mambuku sits on 17.1, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Mambuku's projected Rating — 65.07300000000001 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.
