On long-term talent our Rating reads 71, top 34% of the 68 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 25 Dele-Bashiru is in his prime years, and a market index of 43.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Dele-Bashiru missed 11 games through injury (hamstring, international duty, injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 24 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
