Clean sheets

3.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 19 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (11th of 12) 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Outlook

With a Rating of 21.6, Keita carries the 20th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the NB I of 33 — though on just 19 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 (~3), then tapers with age. At 28, Keita sits on 1.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Keita's projected Rating — 21.6 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.
