On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, 22nd of 37 of the 37 centre-backs in the Super League. At 26 Ngom is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.3 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Grasshoppers finished 11th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
6.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (11th of 12) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 6.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 32.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 32.6, Ngom carries the 22nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Super League of 37, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Grasshoppers finished 11th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (6.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
