Clean sheets

3.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 24) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Defensive volume. 3.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Outlook

Rated 42.9 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

Market valueRating

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 (~52), then tapers with age. At 28, Onyeka sits on 11.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Onyeka's projected Rating — 42.9 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.
