Caps & goals this season.
W. Troost-Ekong is a 32-year-old central defender at Al Kholood, rated 23.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 233rd of 300 in the Pro League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (71.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.05 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Troost-Ekong.
Judged on this season alone, Troost-Ekong graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 39th of 55 of the 55 centre-backs in the Pro League, on 2 clean sheets and 2.053 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 23 → 15). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 38th of 55 of the 55 centre-backs in the Pro League. At 32 Troost-Ekong is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
With a Rating of 23.7, Troost-Ekong carries the 38th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Pro League of 55 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~19), then tapers with age. At 32, Troost-Ekong sits on 7.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Troost-Ekong's projected Rating — 23.7 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.
