On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 41st of 53 of the 53 full-backs in the Premier League. At 31 Deeb is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.7 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Al Ittihad finished 15th of 21 · a lower-table side
4.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 21) 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 61.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 31, 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 17.3, Deeb carries the 41st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premier League of 53, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Al Ittihad finished 15th of 21) — 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 solid defensive volume (4.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
