Clean sheets

4.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 39 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 22) 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 82.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 4.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 66.6 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
