Output in context · Heart Of Midlothian finished 1st of 12 · a title-challenging side
3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 32 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 12) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 61.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 49.4, Forrester carries the 2nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premiership (top 6%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
