3.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 2 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (12th of 12) 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.

Defensive volume. 3.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Outlook

Rated 38 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~9), then tapers with age. At 19, Rice sits on 6.8, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Rice's projected Rating — 38 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
