On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, 35th of 40 of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Championship. At 32 Obita is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
1.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 20.1, Obita carries the 35th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Championship of 40. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).

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 (~13), then tapers with age. At 32, Obita sits on 5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Obita's projected Rating — 20.1 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.
