Output in context · Union St. Gilloise finished 2nd of 6 · a title-challenging side
3.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 17 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 6) 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 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
