On the season, Traoré graded 6 for current form (age-blind), on 0 clean sheets and 2.318 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 6 → 6). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 51. At 28 Traoré is in his prime years, and a market index of 18.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · 1. FC Heidenheim finished 17th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
2.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 26 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th of 18) 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 49.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 50.5 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years). Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
