We hold a single season for Makanza, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 58, top 7% of the 61 central midfielders in the Eerste Divisie. At 21 Makanza is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 42.8 reflects that trajectory.
2.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 20) 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 7 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 58, Makanza carries the 4th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eerste Divisie (top 7%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Helmond Sport finished 18th of 20) — 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 moderate defensive volume (2.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, 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 (~48), then tapers with age. At 21, Makanza sits on 42.8, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Makanza's projected Rating — 58 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.
