3.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 24.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 42.1, Lobban carries the 4th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premiership of 6 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
