We hold a single season for Mbokazi, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 2, top 5% of the 66 centre-backs in the Premier Soccer League. At 20 Mbokazi is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 0 reflects that trajectory.
2.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 11 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.
With a Rating of 1.7, Mbokazi carries the 3rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier Soccer League of 66 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 17–37 (~0), then tapers with age. At 20, Mbokazi sits on 0, at or near its peak. The blue line is Mbokazi's projected Rating — 1.7 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.
