Clean sheets

1.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 5 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 18) 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 11.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Age curve. At 37, both level and resale value are on the downslope.

Outlook

Rated 3.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).

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 22–27 (~1), then tapers with age. At 37, Talocha sits on 0.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Talocha's projected Rating — 3.9 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.
