15.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 3 appearances.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 15.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 95.3/100).
- Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 69.5 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (15.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
