Clean sheets

2.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 24) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Outlook

Rated 19.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). 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 (~5), then tapers with age. At 29, Collar sits on 1.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Collar's projected Rating — 19.3 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.
