Clean sheets

6.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 3 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 18) 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 6.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.4/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 6.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 50.3 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (6.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
