What he’s worth on the pitch today — our number, not the market’s. Centre-back who builds from the back with unusual comfort on the ball.
GPS / value trend
Logged GPS and value trends appear after at least two real daily snapshots.
Daily snapshots only. Sparse history stays hidden rather than drawing a flat line.
Value trajectory
Value trajectory appears once GoalPost has a current FMV and dated season ratings.
Dashed line is reconstructed from season ratings, age, role, and today's GoalPost value. Logged-live value points will appear here once history accrues.

Playing style
Riad operates as a ball-progressing defender who initiates play from deep rather than simply clearing danger. He's comfortable receiving possession in tight spaces and turning to advance the ball upfield, using his technical security to transition defence into attack. His positioning and willingness to carry the ball mark him as a modern centre-back archetype.
