Clean sheets

2.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 15) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

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 age 22 (~12), then tapers with age. At 22, Vega sits on 12.1, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Vega's projected Rating — 47.8 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.
