Clean sheets

3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 41 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 24) 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 6 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 81.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Defensive volume. 3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 21.9, Ekpiteta carries the 64th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League Two of 83. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~4), then tapers with age. At 30, Ekpiteta sits on 2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Ekpiteta's projected Rating — 21.9 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.
