Clean sheets

3.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 12) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

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 (~11), then tapers with age. At 25, Wi-Je sits on 11.3, at or near its peak. The blue line is Wi-Je's projected Rating — 45.1 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.
