In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (93.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.85 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ndicka.

Judged on this season alone, Ndicka graded 69 — a standout campaign that ranks top 4% of the 52 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 14 clean sheets and 2.851 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 59 → 69). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 79, top 14% of the 52 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 26 Ndicka is in his prime years, and a market index of 70.9 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Ndicka missed 6 games through injury (international duty, yellow cards, thigh) out of roughly 38 this season. The 31 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.

Clean sheets

2.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 14 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) 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 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 93.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92/100).

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 78.5, Ndicka carries the 7th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A (top 14%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.85 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.
