Clean sheets

2.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 10 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (12th of 12) 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.

Outlook

With a Rating of 9.7, Tongyik carries the 23rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the A-League of 39 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× 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 18–27 (~0), then tapers with age. At 29, Tongyik sits on 0.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Tongyik's projected Rating — 9.7 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.
