We hold a single season for Kabini, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, top 24% of the 38 full-backs in the Eliteserien. At 22 Kabini is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 10 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Kabini missed 3 games through injury (inactive, yellow cards) out of roughly 30 this season. The 18 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.

  • Defensive volume. 5.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
