Clean sheets

2.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 4 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 60.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.33 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 17.6, Mokoena carries the 14th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier Soccer League (top 40%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
