Clean sheets

2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 1 appearance. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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.

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 17–37 (~0), then tapers with age. At 26, Shinga sits on 0, at or near its peak. The blue line is Shinga's projected Rating — 1.3 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.
