Clean sheets

3.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) 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.

Value & potential by age

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 30, Bennasser sits on 2.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Bennasser's projected Rating — 24.1 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.
