An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (45% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.3 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bidounga.
Judged on this season alone, Bidounga graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 19th of 46 of the 46 centre-backs in the First League, on 4 clean sheets and 3.3 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Bidounga, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, 28th of 46 of the 46 centre-backs in the First League. At 29 Bidounga is in his prime years, and a market index of 1.6 reflects that trajectory.
3.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th of 16) 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 4 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 20.3, Bidounga carries the 28th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the First League of 46, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Lokomotiv Sofia finished 11th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~3), then tapers with age. At 29, Bidounga sits on 1.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Bidounga's projected Rating — 20.3 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.
