Output in context · Kaizer Chiefs finished 3rd of 16 · an upper-table side
3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 19 appearances. 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 59% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- 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 0.8, Maboe carries the 25th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier Soccer League of 36. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
