Clean sheets

3.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 26.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 28.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
