Output in context · Preston finished 14th of 24 · a mid-table side
4.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 11 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 4.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 27.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 64.3 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
