Clean sheets

2.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 24 appearances.

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 29, Malekkides sits on 1.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Malekkides's projected Rating — 19.6 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.
