Clean sheets

3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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.

Outlook

With a Rating of 28.2, Lajami carries the 14th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Pro League of 24. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

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 (~8), then tapers with age. At 30, Lajami sits on 4.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Lajami's projected Rating — 28.2 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.
