Output in context · Hibernian finished 12th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
1.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 9 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (12th of 12) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 57.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.41 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 44.9 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
