Output in context · FC Winterthur finished 12th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
4.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 22 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 43.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 33.1, Diaby carries the 28th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Super League of 46, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (FC Winterthur finished 12th of 12) — 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 solid defensive volume (4.38 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.
