Clean sheets

3.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 17) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 47.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 43.6, Ndjeungoue carries the 10th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Challenger Pro League (top 20%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
