Output in context · Al Shabab finished 13th of 18 · a lower-table side
4.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 44.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 30.6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
