Clean sheets

4.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th of 16) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 77.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 4.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 15.6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
