Clean sheets

4.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 12 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th of 15) 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.

Defensive volume. 4.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Outlook

With a Rating of 31.1, Bassong carries the 67th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 101 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.04 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.

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 (~6), then tapers with age. At 27, Bassong sits on 5.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Bassong's projected Rating — 31.1 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.
