Clean sheets

2.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 3 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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.

Watch points

Game time. Only 5.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.

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 (~14), then tapers with age. At 31, Bergh sits on 6.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Bergh's projected Rating — 17.7 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.
