Clean sheets

2.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th of 15) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Outlook

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around age 25 (~7), then tapers with age. At 25, Awodesu sits on 7.1, at or near its peak. The blue line is Awodesu's projected Rating — 37.7 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.
