Clean sheets

1.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 18 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 7 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.5 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Game time. Only 38.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Defensive numbers. Modest 1.2 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

Rated 48.5 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~30), then tapers with age. At 26, Gandelman sits on 15.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Gandelman's projected Rating — 48.5 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.
