Clean sheets

2.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 8 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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.

Strengths

Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 93.5/100).

Watch points

Game time. Only 18.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

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 (~24), then tapers with age. At 30, Aidoo sits on 11.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Aidoo's projected Rating — 35.8 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.
