On long-term talent our Rating reads 9. At 30 Machach is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Melbourne Victory finished 4th of 12 · an upper-table side
2.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 1 appearance. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 12) 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 1.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Creativity. 1.18 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 7.7% 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 8.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
