Clean sheets

2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (7th of 24) 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 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.33 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 50.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 2 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 34.3, Duffy carries the 7th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League Two (top 15%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
