Clean sheets

1.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 18) 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.69 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 40 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
