Clean sheets

3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th of 16) 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.

Outlook

With a Rating of 27.4, Parker carries the 2nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Superettan (top 19%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Orgryte IS finished 15th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.

Value & potential by age

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 (~2), then tapers with age. At 21, Parker sits on 2, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Parker's projected Rating — 27.4 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.
