Clean sheets

3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 5 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.45 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
  • Defensive volume. 3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91.4/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 5.9% 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 33.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
