Clean sheets

2.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 8 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (10th of 12) 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.

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 (~10), then tapers with age. At 22, Girdwood-Reich sits on 9.1, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Girdwood-Reich's projected Rating — 43 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.
