Clean sheets

5.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 73.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 5.58 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 29.7 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
