Clean sheets

3.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 45 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (18th of 24) 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 2 goals and 7 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 96.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 42.2 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
