On long-term talent our Rating reads 1, 21st of 36 of the 36 defensive midfielders in the Premier Soccer League. At 29 Ndlovu is in his prime years, and a market index of 0 reflects that trajectory.
4.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 18 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 1, Ndlovu carries the 21st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier Soccer League of 36. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 17–37 (~0), then tapers with age. At 29, Ndlovu sits on 0, at or near its peak. The blue line is Ndlovu's projected Rating — 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.
