M. Bokadi is a 30-year-old central defender at AS Eupen, rated 21 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 155th of 183 on scout potential in the Challenger Pro League. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (24.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.6 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bokadi.

Judged on this season alone, Bokadi graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 19th of 42 of the 42 centre-backs in the Challenger Pro League, on 3 clean sheets and 4.602 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 16). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 37th of 42 of the 42 centre-backs in the Challenger Pro League. At 30 Bokadi is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 24.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 21, Bokadi carries the 37th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Challenger Pro League of 42 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
