On the season, Stevenson graded 15 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.561 defensive actions per 90.

Clean sheets

3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 30 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.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 62.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

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

Outlook

Rated 20.3 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 (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
