Clean sheets

1.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 16) 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.

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 (~10), then tapers with age. At 25, Drambaev sits on 10, at or near its peak. The blue line is Drambaev's projected Rating — 38 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.
