Judged on this season alone, Ndidi graded 40 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 15% of the 42 defensive midfielders in the Süper Lig, on 2 goals, 0 assists and 4.725 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 47 → 40). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, 22nd of 42 of the 42 defensive midfielders in the Süper Lig. At 29 Ndidi is in his prime years, and a market index of 7.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Ndidi missed 7 games through injury (inactive, injury, international duty) out of roughly 34 this season. The 25 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Beşiktaş finished 4th of 18 · an upper-table side
4.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 82.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 34.4, Ndidi carries the 22nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Süper Lig of 42. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
