Clean sheets

5.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) 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 9 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 82.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.38 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 5.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 99/100).

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 34, 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 33.6, Casemiro carries the 51st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier League of 55. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
