Clean sheets

2.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 6 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 16) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 13.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 12.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
