Output in context · Alaves finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.4/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 58.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 57.2 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years). Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
