On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 23rd of 31 of the 31 centre-backs in the HNL. At 28 Ba is in his prime years, and a market index of 5.6 reflects that trajectory.
3.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 10) 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.
With a Rating of 24.5, Ba carries the 23rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the HNL of 31. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~9), then tapers with age. At 28, Ba sits on 5.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Ba's projected Rating — 24.5 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.
