Caps & goals this season.
F. Onyeka is a 28-year-old defensive midfielder at Coventry, rated 47.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 323rd of 493 in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (49.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.69 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Onyeka.
Judged on this season alone, Onyeka graded 27 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 37th of 65 of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 3.691 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 35 → 27). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 48, 40th of 65 of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship. At 28 Onyeka is in his prime years, and a market index of 36.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Onyeka missed 5 games through injury (international duty) out of roughly 46 this season. The 14 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 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
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.
With a Rating of 47.9, Onyeka carries the 40th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Championship of 65 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. 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).

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 (~61), then tapers with age. At 28, Onyeka sits on 36.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Onyeka's projected Rating — 47.9 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.
