Game time. Only 28.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 79.2 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~95), then tapers with age. At 21, Benama sits on 85.5, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Benama's projected Rating — 79.2 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.
