Clean sheets

4.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) 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 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 89.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.23 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Defensive volume. 4.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 45.7 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

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 (~44), then tapers with age. At 31, Rongier sits on 20, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Rongier's projected Rating — 45.7 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.
