Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ntcham.
Judged on this season alone, Ntcham graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 53rd of 86 of the 86 defensive midfielders in the 1. Lig, on 2 goals, 1 assist and 1.447 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 36 → 23). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 55th of 86 of the 86 defensive midfielders in the 1. Lig. At 30 Ntcham is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 9.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Ntcham missed 7 games through injury (hamstring, inactive, injury) out of roughly 34 this season. The 24 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
1.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 28.9, Ntcham carries the 55th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the 1. Lig of 86. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

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 (~19), then tapers with age. At 30, Ntcham sits on 9.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Ntcham's projected Rating — 28.9 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.
