Clean sheets

3.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) 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 5 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 62.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.29 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 95/100).

Watch points

Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 69.5 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.49 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.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~84), then tapers with age. At 27, Gueye sits on 84.1, at or near its peak. The blue line is Gueye's projected Rating — 69.5 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.
