Caps & goals this season.
N. Saliba is a 22-year-old defensive midfielder at Anderlecht, rated 58.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 44th of 293 in the Belgium tier 1 and 911th of 3060 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a regular starter this season (71.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.31 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Saliba.
Judged on this season alone, Saliba graded 39 — a strong campaign that ranks top 30% of the 58 defensive midfielders in the Belgium tier 1, on 3 goals, 1 assist and 4.308 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 20 → 39). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 59, top 23% of the 58 defensive midfielders in the Belgium tier 1. At 22 Saliba is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 48.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Saliba missed 4 games through injury (international duty, ankle) out of roughly 40 this season. The 34 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
A career still climbing — Saliba is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
4.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (4th of 6) 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 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 58.5, Saliba carries the 13th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Belgium tier 1 (top 23%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Anderlecht finished 4th of 6) — 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 solid defensive volume (4.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~52), then tapers with age. At 22, Saliba sits on 48.9, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Saliba's projected Rating — 58.5 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.
