Clean sheets

3.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (11th of 12) 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 6 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.49 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 59.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 49.4, Curtis carries the 6th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premiership (top 15%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Kilmarnock finished 11th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
