Clean sheets

1.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 66.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.5 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 49.2, Olaigbe carries the 4th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Süper Lig (top 40%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
