Clean sheets

1.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 18) 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 5 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 66.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.29 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Defensive numbers. Modest 1.51 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

Rated 53.3 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~22), then tapers with age. At 26, Sellouki sits on 21.7, at or near its peak. The blue line is Sellouki's projected Rating — 53.3 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.
