Judged on this season alone, Koulibaly graded 38 — a strong campaign that ranks top 19% of the 48 full-backs in the Pro League, on 8 clean sheets and 4.16 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 46 → 38). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 46th of 48 of the 48 full-backs in the Pro League. At 35 Koulibaly is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Al-Hilal Saudi FC finished 2nd of 18 · a title-challenging side
4.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Defensive volume. 4.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 52.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 16.5, Koulibaly carries the 46th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Pro League of 48. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
