Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mangala.
On the season, Mangala graded 9 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.169 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 17 → 9). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 48. At 28 Mangala is in his prime years, and a market index of 46.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Mangala missed 22 games through injury (knee, injury, muscle) out of roughly 34 this season. The 9 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.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 9 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.
Rated 48.3 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 (~78), then tapers with age. At 28, Mangala sits on 46.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Mangala's projected Rating — 48.3 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.
