Scout report
M. Bola is a 28-year-old full-back at Watford, rated 35.3 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (6.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.02 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bola.
On the season, Bola graded 1 for current form (age-blind), on 0 clean sheets and 2.015 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 19 → 1). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 35. At 28 Bola is in his prime years, and a market index of 9.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Watford finished 20th of 24 · a lower-table side
2.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 3 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (20th of 24) 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 6.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 35.3 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
