Clean sheets

1.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 7 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 75.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.47 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.48 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

Rated 74.1 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
