Clean sheets

3.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (24th of 24) 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.

Strengths

Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

Game time. Only 41.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 60.4 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around age 20 (~24), then tapers with age. At 20, Heskey sits on 23.7, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Heskey's projected Rating — 60.4 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.
