A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (35.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.37 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ba.
On the season, Ba graded 21 for current form (age-blind), on 5 clean sheets and 3.37 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 21 → 21). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 21. At 31 Ba is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.5 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Başakşehir finished 5th of 18 · an upper-table side
3.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 18) 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 35.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 20.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
