Clean sheets

2.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 20) 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.

Strengths

Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91.1/100).

Watch points

Game time. Only 45.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 47.1 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 age 29 (~31), then tapers with age. At 29, Kilman sits on 31.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Kilman's projected Rating — 47.1 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.
