Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 21 → 21).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 26th of 50 of the 50 centre-backs in the Super League. At 31 Traoré is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.9 reflects that trajectory.
Traoré is operating at his career peak — the 2021/22 level is the level.
2.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th of 16) 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 15, Traoré carries the 26th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Super League of 50, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Dalian Zhixing finished 11th of 16) — 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 moderate defensive volume (2.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

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 31, Traoré sits on 1.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Traoré's projected Rating — 15 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.
