His defensive output reads 5.08 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bamba.

On the season, Bamba graded 7 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 5.075 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 16 → 7). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

Clean sheets

5.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 6 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 18) 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 5.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 9.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 11.6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
