Output in context · Cardiff finished 2nd of 24 · a title-challenging side
4.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 8 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 42.3 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
