We hold a single season for Alaa, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 8, 82nd of 85 of the 85 centre-backs in the Premier League. At 35 Alaa is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Al Ittihad finished 15th of 21 · a lower-table side
3.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 10 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 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 29.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 35, 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 8, Alaa carries the 82nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 85 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
