Watch points
- Game time. Only 25.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 6.2, Ngcobo carries the 17th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Premier Soccer League of 23 — though on just 7 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
