Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 10 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 46. At 29 Diakhaby is in his prime years, and a market index of 16.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Diakhaby missed 27 games through injury (muscle, hamstring) out of roughly 38 this season. The 8 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 31.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 45.7 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
