Clean sheets

3.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 6 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.38 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 52.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 51.3, Robertson carries the 3rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League One (top 5%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
