Availability. On the pitch for 99.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Defensive volume. 4.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 52.3, Masoud carries the 9th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Pro League of 26 — though on just 0 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

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 (~21), then tapers with age. At 25, Masoud sits on 20.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Masoud's projected Rating — 52.3 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.
