2 clean sheets in 13 appearances (15% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (12th of 14) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Outlook

With a Rating of 10.5, Melissas carries the 12th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Super League 1 of 12 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. 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).

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 (~2), then tapers with age. At 33, Melissas sits on 0.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Melissas's projected Rating — 10.5 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.
