On the season, Amadou graded 9 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 1 assist and 4.3 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 9). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 8. At 33 Amadou is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Shanghai Shenhua finished 2nd of 16 · a title-challenging side
4.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 16) 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 4.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 21.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 7.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.3 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 (0.7× and falling).
