Clean sheets

2.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 22 appearances.

Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Value & potential by age

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 17–37 (~0), then tapers with age. At 29, Mokoena sits on 0, at or near its peak. The blue line is Mokoena's projected Rating — 1.2 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.
