We hold a single season for Donga, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 9, 70th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 33 Donga is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.7 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Al Ittihad finished 15th of 21 · a lower-table side
2.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 21) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 28.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 8.9, Donga carries the 70th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 73 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
