Clean sheets

3.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th 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 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 76.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Age curve. At 32, 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 17.2, Netabay carries the 41st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Allsvenskan of 48, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Degerfors IF finished 13th 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 (3.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).

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 (~4), then tapers with age. At 32, Netabay sits on 1.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Netabay's projected Rating — 17.2 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.
