Minutes

6 clean sheets in 32 appearances (19% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (13th of 18) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 92.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 47.8 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~22), then tapers with age. At 29, Gassel sits on 12.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Gassel's projected Rating — 47.8 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.
