Clean sheets

4.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 13 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 70.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Defensive volume. 4.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 29.6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× 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 (~20), then tapers with age. At 32, Bani sits on 7.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Bani's projected Rating — 29.6 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.
