Output in context · Motherwell finished 4th of 12 · an upper-table side
4.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 15 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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. Going forward he chipped in 6 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 84.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 4.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points

Outlook
With a Rating of 47, Watt carries the 11th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premiership (top 28%).
