Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 15 → 18). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 24. At 25 Olayinka is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Waterford finished 9th of 10 · a relegation-threatened side
2.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 32 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (9th of 10) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 69.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 23.6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
