Clean sheets

2.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 9 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.

  • Game time. Only 35.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 56.4, Cabango carries the 5th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 54 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
