On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 54th of 61 of the 61 centre-backs in the Pro League. At 36 Chafaï is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Damac finished 16th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
3.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 28 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th 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. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 77.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Watch points
- 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 18.7, Chafaï carries the 54th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Pro League of 61, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Damac finished 16th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
