Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.55 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Creativity. 0.41 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

Game time. Only 22.1% 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

With a Rating of 7.2, Sheikh carries the 72nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 73 — though on just 0 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

Market valueRating

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 (~2), then tapers with age. At 36, Sheikh sits on 0.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Sheikh's projected Rating — 7.2 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.
