Clean sheets

3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 28 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Defensive volume. 3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 99/100).
Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

Game time. Only 48.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 89 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

Market valueRating

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 (~107), then tapers with age. At 21, Mainoo sits on 96.1, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Mainoo's projected Rating — 89 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.
