Clean sheets

2.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 17) 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 5 goals and 11 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.85 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Creativity. 0.58 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 59.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 37, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 11.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
