5 clean sheets in 22 appearances (23% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (16th of 20) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Outlook

Rated 25 overall — below regular-starter level. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× 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 23–27 (~16), then tapers with age. At 33, Leali sits on 5.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Leali's projected Rating — 25 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.
