Clean sheets

2.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 18) 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 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 75.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

Outlook

Rated 30.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× 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 (~9), then tapers with age. At 30, Kemen sits on 4.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Kemen's projected Rating — 30.5 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.
