On long-term talent our Rating reads 1, 30th of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Premier Soccer League. At 30 Sibisi is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0 reflects that trajectory.
2.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 15 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 16) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.
With a Rating of 1.1, Sibisi carries the 30th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier Soccer League of 54. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 17–37 (~0), then tapers with age. At 30, Sibisi sits on 0, at or near its peak. The blue line is Sibisi's projected Rating — 1.1 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.
