Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Emad.

We hold a single season for Emad, 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 18, 46th of 62 of the 62 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 30 Emad is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.2 reflects that trajectory.
3.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 23 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 17.7, Emad carries the 46th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 62, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Al Ittihad finished 15th of 21) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× 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 (~6), then tapers with age. At 30, Emad sits on 3.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Emad's projected Rating — 17.7 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.
