Clean sheets

1.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 66.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

Defensive numbers. Modest 1.77 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Age curve. At 37, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 5.5, Mvelase carries the 42nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier Soccer League of 44, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (TS Galaxy finished 12th 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 light defensive volume (1.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).

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 21–27 (~1), then tapers with age. At 37, Mvelase sits on 0.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Mvelase's projected Rating — 5.5 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.
