Clean sheets

3.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 15 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 82.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 93/100).

Watch points

Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 45.4 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

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 (~47), then tapers with age. At 31, Akanji sits on 21.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Akanji's projected Rating — 45.4 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.
