In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (46.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.9 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bagan.
Judged on this season alone, Bagan graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 51st of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the League One, on 0 clean sheets and 3.901 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 45 → 10). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2025/26.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, top 13% of the 64 centre-backs in the League One. At 25 Bagan is in his prime years, and a market index of 9 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2025/26 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Cardiff finished 19th of 24 · a lower-table side
3.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 11 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (19th of 24) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 46.8% 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 40.1, Bagan carries the 8th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League One of 64 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
