Output in context · Accrington ST finished 22nd of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 1 appearance. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (22nd of 24) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 13% 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 22.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.67 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.
