Clean sheets

3.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 7 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (22nd of 24) 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.

Outlook

With a Rating of 15.7, Vassell carries the 51st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League Two of 76 — though on just 7 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~2), then tapers with age. At 29, Vassell sits on 0.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Vassell's projected Rating — 15.7 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
