Clean sheets

1.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 51.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.63 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 14.3, Crognale carries the 27th-highest potential of the full-backs in the USL Championship of 34. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
