Clean sheets

8.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 1 appearance. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 18) 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.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 8.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Game time. Only 1.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 17.6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (8.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

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 (~4), then tapers with age. At 30, Etebo sits on 2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Etebo's projected Rating — 17.6 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.
