Clean sheets

4.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 15) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
