An emerging talent, he has been an ever-present this season (94.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.7 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Malanda.
Judged on this season alone, Malanda graded 40 — a strong campaign that ranks top 20% of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship, on 7 clean sheets and 2.699 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 40 → 40). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 74, top 4% of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship. At 24 Malanda is in his prime years, and a market index of 33.9 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Malanda is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Middlesbrough finished 5th of 24 · an upper-table side
2.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 24) 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.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 94.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 73.6, Malanda carries the 3rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship (top 4%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
