Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Shabana.
Judged on this season alone, Shabana graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 53rd of 66 of the 66 centre-backs in the Premier League, on 4 clean sheets and 2.252 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Shabana, 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 15, 54th of 66 of the 66 centre-backs in the Premier League. At 31 Shabana is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.4 reflects that trajectory.
2.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 12 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.
With a Rating of 14.7, Shabana carries the 54th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 66 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
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 (~5), then tapers with age. At 31, Shabana sits on 2.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Shabana's projected Rating — 14.7 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.
