Clean sheets

2.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 48 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 24) 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 6 goals and 11 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 62.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.57 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Creativity. 0.37 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 23.6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 29, Mandeville sits on 2.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Mandeville's projected Rating — 23.6 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.
