Output in context · Sturm Graz finished 1st of 12 · a title-challenging side
3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 80% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
