Output in context · Middlesbrough finished 3rd of 24 · an upper-table side
3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 7 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 24) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 30.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 62.6, Malanda carries the 20th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 36 — though on just 7 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
