On long-term talent our Rating reads 31. At 26 Paintsil is in his prime years, and a market index of 5.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Tromso finished 3rd of 16 · an upper-table side
3.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 8 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 16) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 6.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 31.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
