Clean sheets

3.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 20) 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Rated 40.7 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~19), then tapers with age. At 29, Ronald sits on 10.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Ronald's projected Rating — 40.7 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.
