On long-term talent our Rating reads 11, 14th of 14 of the 14 defensive midfielders in the Premier League. At 34 Babenko is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
4.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 16) 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.
With a Rating of 11.1, Babenko carries the 14th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier League of 14. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

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 (~5), then tapers with age. At 34, Babenko sits on 1.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Babenko's projected Rating — 11.1 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.
