Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Shashoua.
On the season, Shashoua graded 1 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.6 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 0 → 1). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 27. At 27 Shashoua is in his prime years, and a market index of 5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Shashoua missed 3 games through injury (leg, inactive) out of roughly 38 this season. The 5 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Minnesota United FC finished 4th of 15 · an upper-table side
3.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 5 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 15) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 2.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 26.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
