Clean sheets

1.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 34 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 9 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.48 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Game time. Only 57.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Defensive numbers. Modest 1.77 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 30.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

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 (~13), then tapers with age. At 30, Kenedy sits on 6.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Kenedy's projected Rating — 30.2 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.
