On long-term talent our Rating reads 38, 57th of 75 of the 75 centre-backs in the La Liga. At 32 Ciss is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 16.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Ciss missed 5 games through injury and 3 suspensions (international duty, knee, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 29 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.
