Interceptions

Clean sheets

1.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 13 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (13th of 14) 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.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 81.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

Defensive numbers. Modest 1.99 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 5.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).

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 17–32 (~0), then tapers with age. At 32, Kotal sits on 0.1, at or near its peak. The blue line is Kotal's projected Rating — 5.3 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.
