Clean sheets

2.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 15) 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Game time. Only 57.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 47.5, Badwal carries the 8th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Major League Soccer (top 10%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.73 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.

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 (~9), then tapers with age. At 20, Badwal sits on 7.6, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Badwal's projected Rating — 47.5 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.
