Clean sheets

4.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

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 (~4), then tapers with age. At 36, Gjasula sits on 1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Gjasula's projected Rating — 11.1 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.
