Clean sheets

1.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th of 16) 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. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.51 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Outlook

Rated 27.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 (~14), then tapers with age. At 22, Finey sits on 2.3, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Finey's projected Rating — 27.5 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.
