Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Vital.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 9 → 53). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, top 18% of the 28 defensive midfielders in the Super League. At 28 Vital is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.8 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Vital is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
2.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 16) 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 5 goals and 8 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 28.1, Vital carries the 5th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Super League (top 18%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 28, Vital sits on 2.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Vital's projected Rating — 28.1 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.
