Clean sheets

5.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th 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.

Defensive volume. 5.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Outlook

Rated 34.2 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× 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 (~16), then tapers with age. At 29, Ronaldo sits on 8.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Ronaldo's projected Rating — 34.2 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.
