On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 47th of 67 of the 67 defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 29 Nwobodo is in his prime years, and a market index of 7.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Nwobodo missed 7 games through injury (hamstring, injury, thigh) out of roughly 38 this season. The 34 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
5.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 34 appearances.

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 (~14), then tapers with age. At 29, Nwobodo sits on 7.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Nwobodo's projected Rating — 26.8 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.
