Clean sheets

3.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 7 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 12) 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.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 3.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Game time. Only 59.1% 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 38.7 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.69 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.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~14), then tapers with age. At 27, Sterling sits on 14.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Sterling's projected Rating — 38.7 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
