Clean sheets

3.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 2 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 63% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 33.3, Lloyd carries the 44th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 53. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
