Clean sheets

3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 16 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 53.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 13.9, Akinyode carries the 37th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the USL Championship of 56. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
