Clean sheets

2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 93/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 40.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 38, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 13.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
