Output in context · Ipswich finished 2nd of 24 · a title-challenging side
4.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 16 clean sheets across 45 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 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 95.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 57, Matusiwa carries the 33rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Championship of 65. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
